A relentless heat wave continued to bake most of the United States on Friday, with numerous areas expected to see record temperatures and forecasters warning there would likely be little relief through the weekend for most areas.

The steamiest conditions on Friday were expected in parts of Ohio and Indiana, where heat indexes were likely to soar past 100 degrees and remain there most of the day.

But the Midwest was not the only area being baked, as heat and excessive heat warnings and advisories were issued across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, and in some western states.

Idaho officials said two people in their 60s have died of heat-related causes — the state’s first heat-related deaths of the year. Health officials did not release additional information about the victims Friday.

Days of unusually high temperatures have disrupted the lives of millions of residents across the country.
