Aiexpress – The United States is issuing a warning to its citizens to get ready for potentially hazardous wildfires in the coming week. Meteorologists predict that temperatures will soar to unprecedented highs in the mid-90sF. To help visualize the areas most likely to be affected, a map has been created to highlight the regions expected to face the brunt of the wildfires.
Parts of America are bracing themselves for an impending heatwave as a plume makes its way from the Gulf of Mexico. This weather phenomenon is expected to bring dry winds and low humidity, creating a hazardous mix of conditions. Consequently, multiple “Red Flag” fire warnings have been issued in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Certain regions of the nation are already witnessing abnormal heatwaves and rampant wildfires, particularly in Texas.
March is expected to usher in a wave of scorching heat, surpassing previous records, according to experts cited by The Express.com.
According to Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist for the British Weather Services, the United States is about to experience an unprecedented heatwave. In his words, “Temperatures over the next few days are expected to break records, reaching ridiculous levels.”
According to the expert, a plume originating from the Gulf of Mexico will result in temperatures reaching 90F in certain regions, serving as a reminder that despite being in the winter season, unusually high temperatures are expected. Furthermore, he mentioned that this exceptional heat is anticipated to persist throughout the upcoming week and into the beginning of March.
According to the current wildfire warnings, the southern states are experiencing “critical fire weather conditions.”
The southern regions of the country, which include Texas and Arizona, are bracing themselves for scorching temperatures that are projected to soar above 80°F.
Abilene, Texas experienced scorching temperatures on Monday, reaching a remarkable 94F. This extraordinary heat broke the previous February record.
Dale voiced his concern about the “extremely worrying” temperatures, emphasizing that they could be indicative of what to expect this summer.
States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Iowa need to prepare themselves for the worst. According to Dale, the heat they will face is a matter of concern.
El Nino, a climate pattern that warms up the eastern Pacific, is partly responsible for the soaring temperatures in certain southern cities, according to Jonathan Erdman, a meteorologist from the Weather Channel.
