East Coast Could Get a Second Round of 100-Degree Heat

Ready or not, another surge of heat is headed to the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic by next week. While this latest round of toasty temperatures will not rival the Fourth of July extreme heat event in intensity or duration, it will still feel quite miserable at times. Read on for the details on when and where you can expect a return to the sweltering weather.

East Coast Braces for Another Wave of Unseasonable Heat

A new heat dome is building across the interior West and the northern Plains this weekend. This area of high pressure will push across the Upper Midwest, the Plains, and the Mississippi Valley before bringing the heat and stifling humidity to the East Coast.

The mass of unseasonably hot air will bring up moisture-rich air from the Gulf as it moves to the east. This will naturally increase the humidity levels, sending real feel readings to between 105 and 115 degrees across much of the eastern U.S. next week.
