A "heat dome" is forecast to bring dangerously high temperatures to much of the eastern half of the U.S. next week.
The extreme heat could last through July 4 celebrations.
Driving the news: "Widespread temperatures into the 90s to low 100s, combined with high humidity, will result in heat indices approaching or exceeding 105-110 in many places," NOAA forecasters write.
"Overnight lows will also be quite warm, with some record high minimums possible, bringing little to no relief from the heat in the nighttime hours."
Zoom in: Cities from Minneapolis and Chicago to Nashville and Atlanta will be under extreme heat risk next week, NOAA says.
Such conditions affect"anyone without cooling/hydration as well as health systems, industries, and infrastructure."
🥵 Meanwhile: The heat wave baking Europe this week wouldn't be possible without climate change, a World Weather Attribution rapid study found.
