The heat dome is currently covering 19 states, impacting 107 million Americans.
Severe storms on Thursday night through Friday morning, with wind gusts of up to 75 miles per hour, left approximately 700,000 people without electricity.
These winds also damaged houses from Detroit to Ohio, toppling trees and triggering the outages that stretched across Michigan, northern Ohio, and into Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, in the upper Midwest, people could finally start to get some relief from the extreme heat. Unfortunately, it's now moving South and stretching into the Southeast.The National Weather Service satellite shows the heat dome over the center of the country and moving across Alabama, to northern and central Georgia, and down to the Florida panhandle.
Severe heat alerts are in place across the Ohio River and Mississippi River valleys, as well as from Dallas-Fort Worth to northwestern South Carolina. As we head into the weekend, the focus of these alerts will shift to the Gulf region, spanning from the Rio Grande to the Atlantic Coast.
