What’s got people seeking the shade…

Excessive heat. About a third of the US population is under heat alerts. Fourteen states — from California to Florida — are experiencing a record-breaking heat wave, with some parts of the country seeing temperatures well over 100 degrees. Arizona had 16 consecutive days of 110 degrees or higher temps. The state is expected to beat a 1974 record streak of 18 days today. Other parts of the country are also expected to continue to feel scorching temps into the week. It comes as the Northeast is recovering from heavy rainfall and flash flooding that's killed at least five people. Experts say El Niño, a weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, is partly to blame.

Carlee Russell. Over the weekend, the 25-year-old woman who disappeared from an Alabama highway turned up at her home. Russell was reported missing after she called police to report a toddler walking on the interstate on Thursday. Her mysterious disappearance led to a 48-hour search effort involving local and federal authorities, gaining national attention. Now, police say Russell returned home on foot and that they’ve received no other reports of a missing child. Authorities are reviewing traffic camera footage as they investigate what happened to Russell.
