From the Midwest to the East Coast, millions across the U.S. are sweltering through a heat wave 🥵

A persistent heat dome is trapping hot air and sending heat index values soaring past 100°F. The intense heat is expected to last through midweek.

#Erick was the earliest major hurricane landfall in Mexico since records began, and that includes both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

This is Erick’s full development and journey from a potential tropical cyclone to a category 4 major hurricane, then landfall over Oaxaca, Mexico at category 3 strength with 125 mph (205 km/h) winds, and then weakening to a tropical storm.

Category 2 Hurricane #Erick continues to rapidly intensify.

It could make landfall as a major hurricane Thursday in western #Oaxaca or eastern #Guerrero, #Mexico. Destructive winds, dangerous storm surge, and life-threatening flooding are expected.
