The 'omega block' is back – here's what that means for you:
Temperatures in the U.S. will be influenced by an omega blocking pattern this weekend into early next week.This pattern won't do anything to break up the sweltering heat dome in place from Texas to the Southwest.to get weekday updates from The Weather Channel and our meteorologists.
Now, notice how the jet stream pattern – that ribbon of fast-flowing air some 30,000 feet above the ground – described above and depicted in the image below resembles the greek letter omega: Ω. But this pattern shift won't eradicate the heat dome that's been searing parts of the southern U.S. since July. Areas from the Desert Southwest into Texas will continue to be hotter than average.
For some cities, these highs will be near average to a few degrees below for early August, which is tolerable when compared to the 90-plus-degree heat waves possible this time of year.
