SUMMARY: Much of the South and Central U.S. is under heat advisories as temperatures soar. An excessive heat warning spans parts of Tennessee and Southern Illinois, amid a heat dome restricting rain. Highs are expected to reach the upper 90s and feel like 105-110°F, especially in the afternoon. It’s crucial to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat. Always check for pets or children left in vehicles, as temperatures can quickly rise to dangerous levels. Even isolated showers are minimal, with dangerously hot conditions persisting throughout the week. Heat safety remains a priority as the extreme weather continues.
