and derek van dam is in the cnn weather center and is joining us live.t has been ridiculously hot here and of course thousands of flights canceled. some due to staff shortages, but many due to the weather. >> yeah, from storms along the mid-atlantic to the heat in the south, we've got myriad problems across the eastern u.s. this just into the cnn center here, we have upgraded the national weather service has upgraded central georgia to an excessive heat warning. so macon included in that. yesterday they topped 105 degrees fahrenheit, roughly 40 degrees celsius, and they warned the public. heat indices for this area, that is what it feels like on your exposed skin as you factor in the actual temperature with the dew point, and you start to talk about triple digit plus and it is all thanks to the infamous heat dome that has settled in across the southern portions of the country once again. it will tie or break records from today right through the course of the weekend. there is macon's record high from yesterday shattering what was set back in 1925 of 101

derek van dam, appreciate it. >>> as derek mentioned a heat wave is crossing over to parts of europee, more than 200 monthly high temperature records were broken on saturday. some cities saw all-time highs. the system responsible if it are moving east. spain is also experiencing unseasonal, temperatures. for the latest al goodman joins us from madrid. how bad is the situation there? >> reporter: kim, surprisingly it's northern spain that's been the hardest hit by this heat wave both its temperatures and effects on in recent days. registered he 3.5 degrees celsius, 110 degrees fahrenheit. other towns in the north were at 14 degrees celsius. the hottest may recorded. the dry windy conditions have sparked forest fires across northern part of spain, near western spain, near portugal, a big blaze has burned about 60,000 akers, causing officials to stop traffic on the bullet train from there to other parts of northern spain. in northeastern spain, closer to barcelona a number of blazes, hundreds of fires, firefighters are battling those blazes. for people not affected by the fires, it's th

. >> cnn meteorologist derek van dam joins me now. what are you seeing out there, derek?ainly hot where i live. >> it's hot. but it's important to say that there are parts of our country right now that are actually cool. that's the difference between talking about climate and the weather. i often talk about climate being more like your personality and weather being more like your mood at any given moment. your personality would be your long-standing who makes you or what makes you who you are. so when we're talking about what's happening now, the northeast is cooler than average. but much of the central u.s. spreading to the east will actually become warmer over the coming days. we have over 25 million americans under this heat watch and heat advisories. and it's all about the heat dome. we've talked about this for the past several days. it was and still is situated across the southeast. we're going start seeing it migrate a little farther to the west as we see a buck until that jet stream that helps drive the weather patterns across north america. and then by the second

we'll check the latest extreme weather conditions with derek van dam next. us. >>> blistering heat is gripping many parts of the u.s. right now with several records set on saturday and heat advisories in place for some places today. relief from triple digit temperatures may be in sight. and derek van dam is tracking the conditions. what is the latest. >> depends where you're located. we have the triple digit heat across the south and now excessive heat building into the pacific northwest. i'll cover both of those areas in this weather hit. the national weather service expanding some of the heat advisories, jackson, mississippi, little rock, arkansas, shreveport, louisiana. heat indices, factor in the air temperature and the humidity levels. it will be oppressively hot for those locations. the pacific northwest that has the heat today, this is more of a drier heat. but regardless, it's still going to be extremely warm for the area. we're talking temperatures 20 to 25 degrees higher than where they should be this time of year, especially inland away from the c

and derek van dam is tracking the conditions.t is the late snes. >> kim, hi, it is not just the deep south dealing with the heat, but also the pacific northwest. and so we don't typically think about oregon and washington being this hot stifling place like the gulf coast states, but this is the exception to the rule now. in fact this is the hottest pat of the year coming up. and the heat advisories have been expanded. we start to see the local national weather service offices realize just how hot it will be to today. so heat endiseases are range from 105 to 110 degrees. that is what it will feel like as you step outside. you factor in the humidity, dew point levels and wow, it will be stifling. but like i said, it is not just the deep south, we've been talking about that for several days now as our heat dome continues across that region. but now look what is forming over the western portions of the east. portland, seattle, high temperatures today 90 to 100 degrees. the difference between this heat and the gulf coast heat of cours

cnn meteorologist derek van dam joins us now. i'm here in the studio with a little fan.s so hot, i could probably use two or three more of them. just a symbol of what's going on across the country here. >> wow, getting clever there. >> got the props. >> i need that. you know, i just got back myself from ohio, talking about the heatwave combining with a power outage from severe weather earlier this week. so this is a concern that's been building for several, several days. the heat that's impacted many of the states across the central and southeastern u.s., it equally has abated across the northeast. and they're actually cooler than average. and other locations from atlanta to omaha all the way to houston and dallas. these areas have the potential to break records this week once again as our heat dome builds across the nation's heartland and shifts eastward. potential temperatures broken or tied. 130 plus. that's not a typo. heat advisories really confined to the gulf coast states. at the moment just over 25 million americans under heat advisories or heat watches. that wil

let's get details from derek van dam at the cnn weather center. before the break, you had this really heat globe that really covered much blanketed much of the country. >> yeah, we call that heat dome and that heat dome is what is responsible for this oppressive heat, the triple digit temperatures. i hope that you can see this on my map here because we had to highlight that new orleans, a large population here in louisiana, in the gulf coast area, a lot of humidity within this area. the heat index today will reach 116 degrees. that is 46 degrees celsius. that is why the national wealth service has heat warnings for that location, heat watches across florida, and that is where we have heat advisories in place. we broke a number of records. macon georgia just outside atlanta, 104 degrees. so we have the potential to break more record high temperatures today. and you can see where they are kind of con glom rated right along the soirn states. louisiana, eastern texas, georgia, mississippi, alabama and into florida, all thanks to the heat dome that con

joining me now is derek van dam. i see to be having problems with the word meteorological.ay it for me. a lot of the country really in the red. >> i've been a meteorologist for over 20 years of my life and saying the word meteorological, still have to do it fpho phonetically. you're right, this is serious heat. and we came up with a statistic, there is the one that i'll having trouble with, a statistic to share with you at home. 15% of the lower 48, contiguous united states, is going to experience temperatures above 100 this week. that puts it into perspective, that is 43 million americans thanks to the heat dome trapping the sun's energy, the heat from the sun, and it is advancing eastward. now through texas into the lower mississippi valley and eventually here in the southeast where the cnn center is located. currently we have over 60 million americans under heat alerts. we've dropped a lot of that across central california, still warnings for the interior portions. but really the heat expands across texas, oklahoma, into missouri, arkansas, louisiana, mississippi, even t

cnn meteorologist derek van dam joins us now.ple not just here but across the world. >> yeah. baking across two continents right now as we speak, kim. so we'll get to the united states first because the heat dome that is building over the central u.s. will be reminiscent of what happened just a week ago. it is going to build across the nation's midsection. then it will move gradually east ward, settle into the southeast, places like atlanta, nashville into memphis, st. louis, all the way to minneapolis, st. paul. this is an area that doesn't typically see the hot weather like this, but they're currently under excessive heat watches for the early parts of next week. we have roughly about 25 million americans under some sort of heat alert. look at this, we have the potential to shatter or tie over 100 record high temperatures. and the problem here is not just the heat during the day but it's also the heat at nighttime. when your temperature doesn't drop below 80 degrees in your house overnight or outdoors for that matter, you've go

meteorologist derek van dam is live in columbus, ohio, where the mayor has no power and he's urging residentso go to cooling centers and pools to stay safe. >> reporter: john, unfortunately the perfect storm has struck this area, the combination of no electricity and dangerous excessive heat, that is a recipe for disaster. it has made for an uncomfortable night here as well. remember record breaking triple digit heat easily grabs our headlines but when temperatures don't cool below 80 degrees in your own house that is the silent killer. we have excessive heat alerts for over 100 million americans including where i'm standing across central ohio. thousands of people facing days without the prospect of tooling themselves with electricity. we have american electric power, the power company here that serves ohio and they have warned residents here that they need to be prepared to not have electricity at least through thursday. now, what happened was a line of storms that moved through on monday night, this was known as a straight-line wind event, this isn't a localized tornado that causes damage

derek van dam has more. >> that's right, max, we are monitoring the potential for severe weather oncein today. this time across the lower mississippi river valley as well as the central gulf coast states. basically anywhere we've highlighted the shading of red, that is where we have an ongoing severe weather threat. in fact this is a line of thunderstorms that has originated across central portions of oklahoma and continues to advance south and east. you can see it impacting places like little rock to new orleans later this afternoon before exiting into the gulf of mexico. with it, the potential exists for strong damaging winds as well as large hail and we cannot rule out the potential of a tornado or two as well. the storm prediction center in fact has highlighted our greatest risk, that is a level three out of five where you see that shading of orange, this is an enhanced risk of severe storms, shreveport to jackson and just outside of little rock with a slight risk highlighted with that shading of yellow all the way to the gulf coast states. so new orleans to pensacola. those two p
