BUSINESS NEWS

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ The strong heat dome that pushed temperatures to record levels is easing as most places stayed below 100 degrees, though sticky air and scattered thunderstorms remain a risk. Forecasts show that later in the week, isolated storms will develop (for example, South Boston hit 100 on Tuesday) as conditions gradually shift back to more typical summer warmth.
