A heat dome of high pressure will once again park over New Mexico and West Texas.

Although it probably won’t be as bad as late June, areas from California to Texas that typically see temperatures above 100 this time of year could see temperatures even worse than that, possibly daily records.

Gulf Coast states will most likely experience above-average temperatures combined with high humidity, creating dangerous conditions. Overnight “low” temperatures could break records for their warmth.

Oh, and a separate system could bring above-average extreme heat to southern Florida, too.

It’ll be brutal tempetures in Phoenix, according to forecasters. Look up your city or town.

The warm wave across the South, from Florida to California, is expected to last at least two more weeks.

That’s not a prediction for an eventual respite; it’s just that forecasts are fuzzy more than 14 days out. So the heat could continue.

Latino farm workers are most impacted by this heat wave.
