Another heat wave is set to park over the Lower 48 next week, bringing anomalous summertime heat to parts of the central and eastern U.S. that may have missed out on previous events.

Early estimates indicate that most of the contiguous United States will see highs running 10 to 15 degrees above average. When combined with climbing humidity, it’ll feel like it’s well into the triple digits for millions. The pattern could also spark severe thunderstorms, perhaps packing strong winds, that could roll through the northern Great Lakes and New England during late July and August.

By Friday and Saturday, that heat will shift east, bringing highs in the upper 90s to near 100 to the Dakotas this weekend. That’s just an appetizer, however. The main heat event, which will occupy a much larger swath of the western and central U.S., will just be getting started by then.

Hope it works at a reasonable price. Can't quite figure what magical materials breakthrough they are waiting for to roll these out grid wide.

A little misleading as agriculture is the primary contributor to emissions, but it goes to show we can significantly lower emissions without the nonsense of the GND.

Um... this is quite the needle to thread to make this claim.
