Heat Dome Pushes Prolonged Triple-Digit Heat Across Central U.S. Ahead of July 4
TL;DR Summary
A heat dome is forecast to fuel a multi-day heat wave across the central U.S. with 90s to near-100s and overnight lows above 80°F, accompanied by high humidity that raises heat indices to about 110°F and threatens heat-related illness, including for Fourth of July visitors in DC and New York. The East could stay hot through the weekend, while Southwest wildfire conditions persist and a late-week jet-stream shift is expected to bring cooler air to the region.
