NEW YORK - A massive heatwave that has enveloped the US Midwest pushed into the Northeast on Friday , ushering in temperatures that could top 38 deg C in Washington and prompting utilities to take steps to prevent power outages.
As of Friday, the heatwave sprawled from Kansas to the Atlantic Coast, and from South Carolina north to Maine. It was expected to intensify on Saturday and Sunday. Last Saturday, parts of Manhattan lost power for hours, darkening Broadway theaters, halting subways and closing restaurants and shops in a partial blackout blamed on a faulty piece of equipment.
On Saturday, the forecast called for 37 deg C in New York and Philadelphia and 38 deg C in Washington. Much the same was in the forecast for Sunday.
