A widespread, major heat wave will spread from the Midwest to the East and remain in place into the Fourth of July with both oppressive humidity and blistering highs that could flirt with some all-time records in parts of the mid-Atlantic states.

By late this week, over 175 million Americans in the Midwest and East will be at risk of either "major" or "extreme" heat-related health issues, according to the National Weather Service experimental HeatRisk product.

Triple-digit heat indices are expected for many, and daily low temperatures won't drop below the mid-80s for some, offering little relief at night.
