00:00A major heat dome is set to dominate parts of the central United States this Labor Day weekend.
00:05The central and southern plains, along with the Mississippi Valley, could see temperatures soar into the 90s and low 100s.
00:13AccuWeather says temperatures may run as much as 8 to 15 degrees above historical averages.
00:18But surrounding areas face a very different forecast, with showers and thunderstorms expected across several regions.
00:26Storms could affect parts of the west, northern plains, midwest and southeast, bringing locally heavy rainfall.
00:32In drought-hit areas, the rain could provide some relief.
00:36But intense downpours may trigger flash flooding.
00:39California beaches could also see showers, afternoon clouds, and large swells during the holiday weekend.
00:45Meanwhile, severe storms in parts of the midwest and east could cause flight and travel disruptions.
00:51Travelers should also expect heavier traffic, especially Thursday through Monday afternoons and evenings.
00:57With heat, storms, and busy roads all possible, forecasters are urging Labor Day travelers to plan ahead.
