December temperature records are at risk
This is caused by what is called a heat dome. This is a high pressure area that hangs over most of the continent and stays there for several days. The heat dome retains heat, thus ensuring a record break temperature at some point in the area below. It is comparable to a pot, which holds heat better with a lid. Temperature records for December can be broken several times.
St. Louis (Missouri) has surpassed the 70-year-old record high of 25 degrees Celsius in early December and is likely to break the new record again in the coming days. Because 24 to 28 degrees is predicted again. The city of Chicago (Illinois) is also at risk of a December 25 degree record.
Storm and hurricane winds clear heat waves
Behind the retreating high pressure area, the low pressure area with hurricane and hurricane force winds is speeding through the Central American states.
Where there has been snowfall for the past few days, the snow will melt in a short time. Temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees are expected in the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota or Wisconsin. It is still hot in the Gulf of Mexico. There may be a heat wave of about 30 degrees.
Unpredictable weather continues on Thursday as well. Then the storm is expected to blow. The high pressure area is moving northeast of the United States and Canada. This means a depression is advancing on the west coast and may bring with it the next winter storm. In Chicago, hurricane force winds or hurricanes can reach 80 to 120 km / h through the city. The updated climate change, along with the cold, will lead to snowfall in the states of Nevada, Utah and northern Arizona. So in the coming days the American weather will be unstable and exciting.
