Extensive triple digit heat, broken temperature records and oppressive humidity piled up into a steaming mess as the heat dome crushing the Eastern half of the nation sizzled to what should be its worst Tuesday.

The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for New York City, with temperatures soaring to the high 90s and heat index values reaching over 100 degrees.

The temperature was forecast to reach 99 degrees or higher on Tuesday, which could cause some voters, especially older ones, to stay home.
