Heat Wave Rolls In

14440 News

More than 53 million Americans across the country were under heat alerts yesterday, as the first major heat wave of the year descended on the first official day of summer.

Roughly half the country—about 170 million people—will be affected by 90- to 100-degree temperatures as the heat wave migrates from the Great Plains across the Midwest to the East Coast over the weekend and into next week. Temperatures hit 100 degrees in Denver yesterday and are expected to hover around that mark in cities like Chicago, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, in the coming days. Track the heat risk where you live here (w/map).

The culprit is a heat dome, a sprawling, slow-moving zone of high pressure that traps hot air, similar to a lid on a pot. The heat dome formed over the central US yesterday and has been fueled by moisture blown north from the southern US.
