BREAKING NEWS Jet stream 'bulge' to trigger sweltering heat dome that will bring triple digit temperatures to 85m Americans
A bulge in the jet stream across American skies is set to trigger an extreme heat dome this week - bringing triple-figure temperatures to large swathes of the country. Nearly 85 million Americans, from South Dakota to Texas and North Carolina to Florida, are already experiencing the extreme heat warnings. But the sweltering conditions are expected to intensify this week - bringing temperatures in the high 90s and surpassing 100s in some areas. Dallas and Kansas City are among the densely-populated urban areas where the heat index is expected to go above 100F, causing a drought due to the lack of rainfall. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said: 'This has the look of a long-lasting heat wave with limited rainfall. 'Drought will expand through the central Plains by mid-August and worsen in Kansas and Nebraska, where there are already pockets of moderate to extreme drought.' The heat wave could last until the last weekend of July in the Plains and South, before the rising temperatures move westward towards the Rockies. A heat dome is a high-pressure atmospheric system that cause warm air to be pushed to the Earth's surface - often becoming trapped for longer periods of time.
