No, this is not global warming at work. It's a classic summer heat wave that will be nasty but not unprecedented. The cause of the heat wave is shown here. The ingredients are all simple and basic. The jet stream is well north, which allows desert-roasted air and Gulf humidity to mingle. That combination always yields the greatest discomfort. Over the next several days, the heat will be concentrated over a broad area from the central and southern Plains to the Southeast.
