Heat dome expands across the central United States, creating dangerous conditions for millions
Forecasters said the heat dome will push RealFeel temperatures to 110 degrees or higher and raise heat illness risks for children and older adults.
- A high-pressure heat dome is expanding eastward across the central United States this weekend, pushing temperatures above 100 degrees from Dallas to North Dakota and affecting roughly 70 million people facing heat advisories.
- Record-Breaking temperatures have already swept the western U.S. before this heat dome moves east, following a mid-July heat wave across the Southwest and Great Plains as rising carbon dioxide levels make extreme heat more frequent and severe.
- The Texas Panhandle faces temperatures exceeding 105 degrees for consecutive days, with peaks near 107 degrees possible in Billings, Montana and Bismarck, North Dakota through the weekend; extreme heat combined with high humidity will drive AccuWeather RealFeel Temperatures to 110 degrees or higher.
- Children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions face heightened risk of heat stroke and other serious illnesses, while major metropolitan areas including Kansas City, St. Louis, and Memphis will see temperatures hit or surpass 100 degrees over multiple days.
- Thunderstorms moving into the region by Tuesday night or Wednesday are expected to offer partial relief, lowering daytime highs into the low-to-mid-90s, though forecasters warn any break could be temporary as long-range forecasts show temperatures remaining above historical averages through mid-August.
