A historic heatwave is expected to sweep across large parts of the United States, bringing extreme temperatures to regions including Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Death Valley, where temperatures could reach up to 120°F (49°C). This heat dome, which has already broken temperature records in central U.S. states, is forecast to move westward into the Southwest, Four Corners region, and the Southwestern Desert during early August. In addition to the heatwave, severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are anticipated in the Great Plains and New England, driven by atmospheric disturbances and warm, moist air masses. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns of potential heavy rainfall and significant water accumulation due to repeated storm activity over the same areas.
