STORYLINE:
The U.S. last year saw the most heat waves, consisting of abnormally hot weather lasting more than two days, since 1936. Officials again warned residents to take precautions.

Much of the Midwest and Northeast were under heat warnings or watches.

The heat wave was moving eastward Sunday into the Plains and the Great Lakes area and was expected to arrive in the Northeast by Tuesday.

The threat of thunderstorms with potential high winds and heavy rainfall was increasing in the Chicago area, even as heat indices were forecast to reach near 100 degrees F (37.7 C) through the middle of the week.

Cooks at Caseras in Chicago coped with the heat as best they could as they grilled meat inside their small food truck.

Emanuel Ramos, of Caseras food truck was dreading the high temperatures this week, "I don’t really like the hot so this is going to be very painful for me."

In Weldon Spring, Missouri, two workers moving fireworks in preparation for a fireworks stand used wet rags over their necks to attempt to cool down.
