Several events in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas have been canceled or changed during what could be record-breaking heat for the region.<\/p>\n
Lehigh and Northampton counties, as well as neighboring Berks, Bucks, Carbon and Monroe counties, are under an extreme heat warning over the next few days while temperatures reach or exceed 100, and heat indexes feel even hotter \u2014 up to 110 degrees.<\/p>\n
That dangerous heat has led to a\u00a0number of events scheduled for this week and the July 4 holiday being canceled or changed.<\/p>\n
This list will be updated.<\/p>\n
