The nation faces a split weekend with the East and West sweltering under a pre summer heat wave while southern and midwestern states endure milder conditions but storms and flood threats. San Francisco endures an eight day heat surge reaching 86, Sacramento 100, Needles 104 and Fresno 105 as New York and nearby beaches offer relief options. Severe thunderstorms disrupt New England and occasional injuries occur with a Boston lightning strike and a Roxbury police box incident. The Midwest enjoys sunny prospects with temperatures in the 60s to upper 70s and flood worries rise in eastern Kansas and western Missouri. A funeral party near Trenton, Missouri, nearly faced entrapment as flood waters washed out a bridge.
