Building warmth has evolved into a heat wave for a large part of the central United States and will continue much of the week in some locations.

Very warm waters, steering currents and other factors point to the Gulf as the main area of concern for tropical development over the next couple of weeks, AccuWeather meteorologists say. Other systems may form farther east over the Atlantic basin, but Gulf development would allow the least time for U.S. coastal preparations. “The western Caribbean...
