Meteorologists warn week ahead in US will have dangerous temps: ‘Heat is not to be played with’
Forecasters say the event could bring more than 90 local temperature records and overnight lows near 80 degrees in some cities.
- A sprawling heat dome will deliver 95-105 degree temperatures to the northern Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday through Monday, meteorologists forecast, threatening to set records across the region.
- University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources climate scientist Daniel Swain described the dome as a 'pot lid' that traps hot air while blocking cooling winds and rain, persisting for over a week.
- A 52,000-square-kilometer swath home to 24 million people faces extreme warmth, which Climate Central meteorologist Shel Winkley attributed to climate change, noting the heat is "at least five times more likely" to occur.
- Yale Climate Connections meteorologist Bob Henson warned that nighttime lows failing to drop below 80 degrees pose severe health risks, as "heat is not to be played with." It rivals tornado or hurricane danger.
- The National Weather Service anticipates more than 90 local temperature records will be tied or broken through Wednesday, with forecasters expecting the system to strengthen over the Plains into next week.
