Scientists Warn a Second Mega Heat Wave Targets 22 States Next Week
Just as the current historic heat dome begins to weaken, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is warning that a second, potentially worse heat wave is building for mid-July, targeting 22 states across the Southwest, California Central Valley, Plains, Mississippi Valley, and South Atlantic region. Ensemble weather models show anomalous mid-level ridging building into the Four Corners region by July 14, with heights reaching levels that could push temperatures to extreme and record levels. Scientists warn the heat could persist for three to five days with no relief. For millions already exhausted by this week's heat, the recovery window is almost none. WooGlobe Ref : WGA620901
