Heat dome to push extreme temperatures across much of US this week [View all]
A bulge in the jet stream is conspiring with a large high-pressure system to create a "heat dome," bringing temperatures approaching triple digits that could linger into August across a swath of the Midwest and East, forecasters say.
Dallas could see 100 degrees for the first time in 2025. The Kansas City, Missouri, area, which hasn't seen 100 degrees in two years, could reach the figure multiple times this week, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said.
The National Weather Service, which is predicting a heat index of 107 on July 21 and 106 on July 22 for Kansas City, has issued an extreme heat warning there until the late on July 24.
Almost 85 million Americans from South Dakota to Texas and North Carolina to Florida were already under National Weather Service extreme heat warnings, watches or advisories July 21. The heat will intensify July 22 and deep into the week − and possibly beyond.
