The heat wave is expanding across the central and eastern U.S., while the Four Corners remain under dangerous fire weather conditions.

High humidity will lead to heat indices of 100 to 110 degrees F (40 C to 43 C), and as high as 115 F (46 C). Nightly lows in the 70s F (21 to 26 C) won&#8217;t provide much relief, the weather service said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/28\/66d55739-2747-4c9b-86ae-761053e12615\/thumbnail\/620x444\/f50c31554f3f7166f8a172b4a7c19d89\/screenshot-2026-06-28-at-2-06-13-pm.png#\" alt=\"National Weather Service heat index map on June 28, 2026 \" height=\"444\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/28\/66d55739-2747-4c9b-86ae-761053e12615\/thumbnail\/620x444\/f50c31554f3f7166f8a172b4a7c19d89\/screenshot-2026-06-28-at-2-06-13-pm.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A National Weather Service heat index map released on June 28, 2026 shows dangerous heat will expand across the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. this week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                National Weather Service<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The heat index, which factors in humidity and is included on many weather forecasts, provides a sense of how hot it really feels \u2014 and what&#8217;s dangerous for prolonged exposure or strenuous activity.<\/p>\n<p>Parts of the U.S., especially Phoenix, Las Vegas, central Texas, and much of the southwest, were already experiencing temperatures around 100 F.<\/p>\n<p>During extreme temperatures, limit outdoor activity, stay hydrated and ensure access to air-conditioning and other cooling areas, the weather service said.
