Two heat domes will combine to form big US heatwave next week

https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5939816-heat-domes-combine-heat-wave-us/

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Next week looks to be sweltering for the Great Plains, Ohio Valley, Great Lakes, and Southeastern U.S.

Two small heat domes, one across the deep southwest and another in the subtropical Atlantic, will collide over the Eastern U.S., making for one large heat dome next week.

The result will be several days with heat index values between 100 and 110 from the Gulf Coast to the Southern Great Lakes. Places like Chicago and Detroit may see heat index numbers over 100, and some parts of the Mississippi Valley could peak at 115.
(snip)

The heatwave looks to last all week long, and even into the weekend in the southeast. Dozens of record hot days and record-warm mornings will likely be challenged.
