Claim 3: “forecasters say temperatures will surge into the mid‑ to upper‑90s by Tuesday”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result from masslive.com mentions temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 90s on Tuesday for Massachusetts. While other results mention heat in 2026 (Cincinnati), they do not corroborate the specific forecast for the region implied by the claim's context (which seems to be the West/Denver based on Claim 0).
