 Rounds of severe storms hit the Midwest and East Coast this week, leaving three people dead. One person died in New York, around 25 miles east of Syracuse. Two others were killed in Illinois after a flood carried their car away. A cold front moving into the East Coast could create more severe thunderstorms and heavy rain throughout the rest of the week. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service says hot temperatures could reach major to extreme levels in areas of the West by this weekend.
