Friday forecast1: 95°-100° 100°-105° 106°-110°
An upcoming heat wave could lead topower outages in the central and east-ern USA, including the major metropol-itan areas of New York City, Washingtonand Chicago, experts said.

“The demand for power can increaseas the heat wave goes on because peoplebecome less resistant – more willing toturn their air conditioning on and up,”said Allan Drury, a spokesman for ConEdison in New York.
