No Abatement In Major Heat Wave
The heat wave shows no sign of abating across the Midwest with only a few areas in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and the northern Rockies cooler. Crops suffer with the corn crop in Illinois and Iowa in bad condition needing moisture from the Appalachians to Texas.

Beneficial rains reach Kentucky and Tennessee as heat persists elsewhere.
