Extreme heat is continuing to impact a large portion of U.S. residents. The National Weather Service issued heat alerts for about one-third of Americans on Sunday, as temperatures continue to remain at dangerous triple digits for millions. More than 115 million Americans are under heat alerts across 16 states. The heat index in the South is expected to reach 105 to 115 throughout nearly the entire region, while the Northwest will experience a surging heat wave as well due to a high-pressure system expanding into the region.
