Those who live anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains might want to start planning now to stay safe and cool through the July 4 weekend, as the National Weather Service warns days of "significant, dangerous heat" could be ahead.
And they're not talking normal summer heat. This is triple-digit heat indices and blazing hot temperatures that could break records and linger through Independence Day and beyond.
Temperatures are going to be "well above normal across much of the Central and Eastern U.S.," said Frank Pereira, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service.
From July 3-9, weather service forecasters are seeing increasing confidence for well above-normal and possibly record-breaking summertime temperatures and elevated extreme heat risks for many areas in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. The developing pattern could be favorable for another Omega block-like pattern bringing impacts that last further into July, the forecast discussion noted.
