Today's News Fast: July 20

Keeping cool is the theme of today's news.

  • You know you're going to need the A/C when the National Weather Service can't come up with a better description for the day than "hot." The high will be around 94 degrees today and the heat index could get as high as 102 degrees! Nightfall doesn't give us much of a break either, with a low around 77 degrees. We're still in a dangerous heat wave folks, so stay hydrated and out of the sun when possible.
  • Nothing beats the heat better than shopping. This week's deals include several stores that we're positive are air conditioned.
  • You're welcome to spend the day at home with your thermostat set to 75 degrees, but if you're planning to venture out, here are five places where you can still stay cool.
  • In recognition of Macomb Township's German roots, we bring you the German Word of the Day: wirklich, meaning really, is an adverb pronounced [veer-klikh].
  • Longtime Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood announced his retirement Tuesday. Do you think Ozzie belongs in the Hall of Fame?
