A dangerous heat wave will impact the central & eastern U.S. starting Sun and continue through the Jul 4 weekend. Highs will be in the 90s-100s with heat indices of 100–110° (locally 115°). Warm nights will offer little relief. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and seek A/C.
High temperatures in the 90s to low 100s will make for a significant heat wave across the central and eastern U.S. beginning on Sunday and lasting through next week. These hot temperatures combined with high humidity will lead to heat indices of 100-110 degrees, and locally as high as 115. Low temperatures only dropping into the 70s will provide little overnight relief. Multiple days of Major to Extreme HeatRisk are forecast across the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys next week. These levels of heat mean health impacts become more likely in general, and may occur in ANYONE without adequate hydration or cooling. High or moderate extreme heat risks cover much of the U.S. east of the Rockies July 4-5, with a broader slight risk through July 7 extending as far west as the Great Basin. Heat indices of 100-110 degrees are possible, and warm nights in the 70s-80s may limit relief over the holiday weekend. Stay informed and take steps to protect yourself from heat related illnesses.

If a wildfire threatens your area, stay informed of evacuation orders. Leave immediately when asked to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. Have an emergency supply kit in your vehicle and know your evacuation route. More: weather.gov/safety/wildfire
"Evacuating From Wildfires: Always stay aware of your environment. Leave when asked by your local officials. Take Action Immediately: Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. A delay could cost your life! Take the initiative to stay informed and aware. Listen to your radio, TV, or alerts on your phone for announcements from law enforcements and emergency personnel. Cover up to protect against heat and flying embers. Wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, heavy shoes/boots, cap, a face mask, goggles or glasses. Ensure your emergency supply kit is in your vehicle. Enact your evacuation plan that includes the route you'll take and designated emergency meeting location outside the fire or hazard area.

National Weather Service Severe Weather Outlook map for Friday, June 26, 2026, highlighting areas across the United States with potential thunderstorms and severe weather risk. Two Slight Risk (yellow) areas are shown: one centered over parts of western Montana into northern Wyoming, and another stretching from eastern Kansas and Missouri into southern Illinois and western Kentucky. Broader Marginal Risk (dark green) areas surround these regions, extending across much of the central Plains, Rockies, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and Ohio Valley. General thunderstorm potential (light green) covers large portions of the western U.S., central U.S., Gulf Coast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, including northern New England. No enhanced, moderate, or high risk areas are indicated. The map suggests scattered thunderstorms capable of isolated severe weather, with the greatest concern focused in parts of the northern Rockies and lower Midwest.

Red Flag Warning infographic. A Red Flag Warning is issued when critical fire weather conditions are happening or about to happen. It does not necessarily mean there is a fire, but that conditions will be very dry and windy. If a fire is present, it can become extreme! Avoid activities that could spark a wildfire. Take action: make your wildfire plan with at least 2 evacuation routes, maintain your go kit, follow fire prevention tips and regulations, and listen to local officials for updates and evacuation orders.

A robust fire weather pattern is expected across an expansive portion of the Intermountain West through the middle of next week. Dry thunderstorms on Wednesday/Thursday will be followed by multiple days of exceptionally dry and breezy conditions will promote significant fire weather concerns for any new ignitions, lightning holdovers, and ongoing large fires across the western U.S.
Wildfires can escalate quickly. Wildfire growth can be terrifyingly sudden and deadly. Prepare ahead of time so you'll be ready. Clear brush away from your home to create defensible space. Use fire-resistant landscaping. Know your potential evacuation routes. Have an emergency supply kit ready to go.
