More than 160 million Americans are under heat alerts as the Midwest faces triple-digit heat and the heat dome moves east. The alerts extend across large portions of the central and eastern United States. Forecasters expect the heat dome to continue shifting eastward in the coming days.
Midwest areas recorded temperatures at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The same weather pattern has produced elevated readings in adjacent states. Officials have issued public guidance on heat safety measures. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours.
The heat alerts remain in effect through the current period. Additional updates are expected as the system progresses.
