Tens of millions of Americans are forecast to feel the effects of dangerous heat through mid-week.

Many cities already saw triple-digit temperatures over the weekend.

Major cities, which already run hotter than the suburbs, could see such conditions for several days. There wonโ€™t be much relief overnight, forecasters warned.

Much of the central U.S. will feel highs in well into the mid-90s as a heat dome envelops much of Americaโ€™s east.

“Vulnerable people, such as the elderly or young children, are most susceptible to heat-related illness,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Jacob Hinson. “Caution should be taken if spending any appreciable amount of time outside, such as by staying hydrated with non-alcoholic beverages, taking frequent breaks and seeking shade.”
