00:00A major heat dome is set to dominate the central United States this Labor Day weekend.
00:05The hottest conditions are expected across the Plains and Mississippi Valley.
00:09Cities including Dallas, Oklahoma City, and St. Louis could see highs in the 90s to low 100s.
00:15AccuWeather says temperatures may run 8 to 15 degrees above historical averages.
00:20High humidity could also push real field temperatures another 5 to 15 degrees higher.
00:25But the heat dome will be surrounded by showers and thunderstorms across several regions.
00:30Storms are possible from the West and Northern Plains into the Midwest and Southeast.
00:35Some storms could produce heavy rain, flash flooding, and difficult travel conditions.
00:40Meanwhile, parts of the Northeast and Northwest will experience cooler weather and passing showers.
00:46The active weather could also create flight and road disruptions during the holiday weekend.
00:51Travelers should monitor local forecasts as heat, storms, and changing conditions continue through Monday.
