A combination of very hot temperatures and high humidity has created dangerous conditions across much of the central U.S., with heat index values as high as 126°F reported in parts of the Upper Midwest so far. Excessive heat watches, warnings and advisories remain in effect for a large portion of the Central U.S.
The stage is being set for a massive heat wave to develop into next week as a large area of high pressure is anticipated to circulate hot and humid air over much of the central and eastern U.S. Maximum heat index values of at least 100°F are likely across much of this area by the middle of next week, with heat index values in excess of 110°F possible over portions of these areas.
