US Sees Potential Record Breaking Heat in the Midwest and Northeast | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Summer officially arrives this Thursday, but things are already heating up as a sweltering heat dome descends upon a large portion of the United States bringing potentially record breaking temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, over the next several days people in the Midwest and the Northeast could see up to 5 straight days of at least 95 degrees. Extreme heat warnings are currently in place in a number of cities including Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston and New York. Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs in the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at the Pennsylvania State University, Jon Nese, joins to tell us what exactly a heat dome is and what causes it. Nese shares how hot it could get in some parts of the US and which areas of the country concern him the most. He explains when the last time we saw temperatures this high so early in the season was. He has been a meteorologist for a long time, studying weather patterns. Nese discusses whether we should be concerned and whether this is a sign of things to come. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
