ST. LOUIS – After a couple of weeks of wet weather and some October-like temperatures, the central U.S. will heat up as a dome of high pressure brings summer weather back to the heartland.
Some 150 million Americans will be experiencing temperatures 10-15 degrees above average, feeling more like the middle of summer. The hot weather will persist through the middle of next week.
Temperatures in the 90s are expected across the southern Plains and extending as far north as Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday. Even Chicago is expected to hit 85 degrees.
