Extreme heat broiling the central U.S. is moving East for the weekend.

From the Great Lakes to the Atlantic -- temperatures are expected well into the 90s, with high humidity.

Heat advisories have been posted in 23 states.

The heat scorched construction workers in California, singed softball players in Kansas, and even stressed out trout in Montana on Thursday, where some of the state's most popular streams were closed as a consequence, CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reported.
