Two separate high-pressure systems, one over the Southwest and another over the subtropical Atlantic, are expected to merge into a large heat dome over the central United States by the Fourth of July holiday. This could trigger the first major, widespread heat wave of 2026 across much of the South and Midwest.

A heat dome traps hot, humid air by acting like a lid, suppressing clouds and rain, and leading to prolonged extreme temperatures (often in the 90s°F with heat indexes exceeding 105°F). The heat will build first in the Gulf Coast and South, then expand into the Midwest, with the ridge potentially centered near St. Louis by July 1 and shifting toward Chicago by July 4.

NOAA forecasts high risks of extreme heat, especially in the Mid-Atlantic and South Carolina early in the week. The event poses particular dangers to vulnerable populations due to minimal nighttime relief and multi-day duration.
