About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming extreme heat in the eastern U.S. and the implications of a strengthening El Niño.

After a couple of days of reasonable weather, a strong ridge will build into the eastern U.S., and it will feel well in excess of 100 degrees Thursday and Friday. We’ll also take a look at the rapidly strengthening El Niño and what it might mean going forward.
