Pet Warning Issued to Millions of Americans Across 29 States

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Americans across 29 states have received heat-related warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) as of early Monday, with the agency cautioning against leaving pets in cars amid "dangerously hot conditions" in some areas. Why It Matters The heat dome over the eastern U.S. originated in the Plains and Midwest, where temperatures in the 90s and above 100 degrees Fahrenheit have persisted since late last week, according to forecasters at AccuWeather. Authorities caution that spending prolonged periods outdoors without proper hydration or ways to stay cool may result in heat-related illnesses.

Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images What To Know As of early Monday, extreme heat warnings were in effect across parts of the following states: Connecticut Delaware Illinois Indiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Missouri New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Rhode Island Vermont Virginia West Virginia "An Extreme Heat Warning means that a period of very hot temperatures, even by local standards, will occur," the NWS said. "Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat." The NWS warned of "dangerously hot conditions," adding that heat index levels—reflecting how hot it feels when humidity is included—were forecast to climb into the triple digits in these regions. "Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles," the agency said. "Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes," the NWS added. The service also advised drinking plenty of fluids, staying in an air-conditioned room, staying out of the sun, and checking on relatives and neighbors. Meanwhile, heat advisories, which the NWS issues "for dangerous heat conditions that are not expected to reach warning criteria," were also in place across parts of these states: Alabama Arkansas Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mississippi South Carolina Tennessee Texas Wisconsin What People Are Saying The National Weather Service wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday: "Though record high temperatures are expected in the coming days, the duration of the heat as demonstrated by the numerous record warm morning lows will make this period especially oppressive. Couple this with the fact that this is the first major heat wave of the year—when our bodies aren't acclimated to the heat yet—will make for an especially dangerous period for many." AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Douty told Newsweek that temperatures would gradually lower toward the middle and end of the week, though he added that "highs will still remain above the historical average for many areas." NWS St. Louis, Missouri, wrote on X on Sunday: "After a hot weekend, there's not much relief in sight from the early summer heat. High temperatures will be in the 90s, with heat indices topping in the 100s each day with a chance of thunder by mid to late week." What Happens Next The NWS issues regular forecast updates on its website and social media channels.

What is an Extreme Heat Warning and when is it issued in Pennsylvania?

(WHTM) — Much of the Midstate is under an Extreme Heat Warning, a first for the region. Sort of. The National Weather Service at State College issued two separate Extreme Heat Warnings covering most of our area — one for Mifflin and Juniata counties, and another for Franklin, Perry, Dauphin, Lebanon, Cumberland, Adams, York, and Lancaster counties. What is a heat dome? Here's what forecasters are talking about The former is in effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, and the latter is until 8 p.m. Wednesday with heat index values up to 108°F predicted It's not the first time we've reached such temperatures, but it is a new term for the warning. Why? It's part of what the NWS calls 'hazard simplification' which saw two alerts renamed nationwide in March. WEATHER FORECAST > A hazy, hot, and humid week ahead Effectively, if these conditions existed this time last year, we would be under an 'Excessive Heat Warning.' The change of wording from 'Excessive' to 'Extreme,' the National Weather Service says, is part of an effort to 'better convey that heat is dangerous' and improve communication and messaging. For an Extreme Heat Warning to be issued in all of Pennsylvania outside of metro Philadelphia, heat indexes must exceed 105°F. Metro Philadelphia uses 'Kalkstein Procedures.' A Heat Advisory, which Mifflin and Juniata counties will be under until 8 p.m. Wednesday outside of when the Extreme Heat Warning is active, requires heat indices between 100°F and 105°F.
