Are you over the summer heat yet? Well, more impactful heat is in the forecast over the next seven days in parts of the Southwest, Northern and Southern Plains. The Weather Prediction Center's 6-10 Temperature Outlook favors most of the country in seeing above average temperatures except for the Northeast.

Southwest

Extreme Heat Warnings and Advisories have been issued for parts of the Desert Southwest into Monday. Now, this region is used to seeing hot afternoons. However, the fact that overnight temperatures are only cooling off into the 90s can be dangerous at night if you don't have proper cooling sources. The very hot temperatures are expected to expand into the Northern Four Corners states of Utah and Colorado with highs approaching 100 degrees.

Central U.S.

As high pressure expands westward, the upper high also expands northward into the High Plains. In Montana, extreme heat warnings and advisories have been issued for this weekend for high temperatures exceeding over 100 degrees. The high heat will move east into the Central Plains for this weekend too before a cold front moves in early next week.

Lastly, for the Southern Plains the high heat sticks around for the weekend and most of next week because of high pressure.

For everyone across the country dealing with the intense, practice heat safety, take frequent breaks, and stay hydrated as best as you can in the days upcoming.
