Heat wave fades as storms lash Arkansas and the Carolinas
A national heat wave, blamed for 160 deaths, cooled across the Midwest, Northeast, and South as storms in Arkansas and South Carolina turned deadly. In Arkansas, a violent thunderstorm knocked out power and damaged buildings, while South Carolina roadways slickened by rain led to two fatalities. Meteorologists expect hotter readings to resume in the Gulf Coast states as drought pressures persist in Texas and western counties.
