Heat dome expands across the central United States, creating dangerous conditions for millions [c9L4WD8fkwk]
A dangerous heat dome is about to blanket the central United States, pushing temperatures past 100°F from Dallas to North Dakota and putting roughly 70 million people under heat advisories. This weekend and into next week, atmospheric conditions will trap heat across a massive stretch of the country, creating sustained high temperatures with little overnight relief—and the humidity will make it feel even worse. Key Points: - Heat dome will stretch from the desert Southwest to the Gulf Coast, reaching into the Midwest and Great Plains - Temperatures expected to run 10-15°F above normal; some Denver-area records may be broken - Overnight lows won't cool enough for people to recover, allowing heat stress to build - Western Nebraska under extreme heat warning with forecasts near 108°F - Children, elderly, and those with medical conditions face serious risk of heat stroke; seek air conditioning, drink water, limit sun exposure This is the latest in a brutal summer already marked by dangerous heat waves—and climate experts say rising CO2 levels make these extreme events more frequent and severe.
