- The historic heat wave of the West, which produced seven consecutive days of temperatures of 115 degrees or higher in Las Vegas, is now targeting the East Coast, as forecast by meteorologists.
- Almost 95 million people nationwide were affected by governmental heat warnings on Friday. Nearly 26 million individuals were under an excessive heat warning indicating life-threatening conditions.
- The National Weather Service's forecast indicates that the high-pressure system that has been baking the West for most of July is likely to continue leading to more record high temperatures for much of the West through Saturday, before shifting its life-threatening temperatures eastward.
- An active storm system is expected to generate multiple rounds of severe storms for the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes into next week. Around 7 million people are at risk of severe storms in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin on Saturday.
