Some places in the Plains and Midwest will easily see a week or more of temperatures in the 100s as a monster area of high pressure is set to overtake much of the Lower 48.
Dueling heat waves — across Texas and the South, and in the Pacific Northwest to northern Plains — are about to join forces to deliver the hottest stretch of weather this year to the central Plains and parts of the Midwest.The current focus of extreme heat remains on Texas, as well as portions of Washington state, Oregon, parts of California and the Desert Southwest, then into the northern Rockies region. On Thursday, more than 60 million people were under heat alerts in those areas.
Persistent anomalous heat is likely to anchor in the central Plains and Midwest, then into the South and Southeast. Widespread temperatures over 100 degrees are probable this weekend from Nebraska and Missouri southward to the Gulf Coast. Salina, in northeast Kansas, could see at least a week of highs at or above 100 per most weather modeling, starting by Saturday and running through at least Friday. If that happens, it would be the longest streak since 2012 there. The Weather Service is forecasting 108 there both Saturday and Sunday.In the region near and north of northern Kansas into Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, humidity levels may spike as well.
By mid-to-late next week, widespread temperatures around 100 or higher are possible, from the same regions that see it in coming days all the way to the East Coast.Summer 2023 has featured extreme heat bouncing from place to place, while focusing fury on spots like the Desert Southwest and Gulf Coast.
