From July 3-9, weather service forecasters are seeing increasing confidence for well above-normal and possibly record-breaking summertime temperatures and elevated extreme heat risks for many areas in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. The developing pattern could be favorable for another Omega block-like pattern bringing impacts that last further into July, the forecast discussion noted.
