Heat dome blankets central U.S. in dangerous, prolonged heat

A heat dome is trapping heat across the central United States, pushing temperatures above 100 F from the Southwest to the Midwest and leaving roughly 70 million people under heat advisories. Overnight lows will stay high, humidity will be oppressive, and vulnerable populations are at risk as the heat persists through the week with limited relief anticipated. Officials urge cooling measures, hydration, and access to air conditioning or cooling centers as authorities monitor the situation.

July Weather Forecast: Hot and Unsettled with Fluctuating Temperatures

The Weather Company, an IBM Business, has released an updated outlook for July, predicting hotter-than-average conditions in the Southwest and near-average or cooler temperatures in the central United States. A continuation of the split flow jet stream pattern from June, along with a heat dome of high pressure centered over parts of the Southwest, is expected to contribute to the unusually warm July in the region. Some parts of the West, central U.S., and mid-Atlantic may experience slightly cooler than average conditions, while parts of California and the mid-Atlantic region could be cooler than usual. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact details of the temperature patterns, but no massive changes are expected.
