Pressure cooker keeps heat lingering across nation
Weathermen blame a strong long-lasting ridge of high pressure for the hot spell gripping much of the United States. The amplified high pressure began in the Midwest in early July and is slowly shifting east, blocking storm systems and deflecting cold air masses northward. Experts say the cause remains poorly understood and there is no link to this past winter’s chill.
