DELMARVA - A heat dome has encompassed the Mid-Atlantic and is expected to bring soaring temperatures to Delmarva for the next few days. Coupled with high humidity, the extreme and oppressive heat can easily turn dangerous.
Counties across Delmarva have announced the openings of multiple cooling centers to offer relief from the scorching conditions and keep people safe. WBOC has compiled a list of those centers below and will update it as more are announced.
