- The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center warns of dangerous heat, severe thunderstorms and flash flooding across much of the United States through July 29.
- A heat dome parked over the central and southern US is driving temperatures into the 100s Fahrenheit, with heat index values of 105°F to 115°F and unusually warm overnight lows, placing much of the Southern Plains, Mississippi Valley and Southeast under Major to Extreme HeatRisk.
- At the same time, storms along the heat dome's northern edge threaten damaging winds, hail and heavy rain from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast, while the North American monsoon brings flash-flooding risks to the Southwest and repeated Gulf Coast storms could drop up to six inches of rain.
- Some relief is expected in the Midwest and Great Lakes as a cold front arrives, but dangerous heat is forecast to persist in Texas, Oklahoma and the Deep South through at least midweek.
What to watch next
- Whether the Major to Extreme HeatRisk across the Southern Plains and Southeast eases as forecast by midweek
- Flood impacts from training thunderstorms in the Midwest, Northeast and Gulf Coast, especially in urban areas and wildfire burn scars
