Summary

Tornadoes are extremely rare in Alaska, with only 11 documented since 1950. Also, a new heat dome is building in the United States this week. This time it will focus on the West first, then shift toward the Midwest. Storms associated with the North American monsoon will follow the heat in the West. Learn more about your ad choices.
