This is the peak in the dome next Tuesday, July 14th from the just out 12z European Ensemble model prediction.
Extremely impressive 600 dm center at 500 mb! However, the market has known this for 3 days now and that dome only lasts for several days next week before the center shifts southwest.

This is what the same 500 mb forecast looks like on July 23rd, 9 days later. This too has been the exact same forecast since Sunday for the end of the 2 week period, so for now it's dialed into market expectations.

These are the 3 hottest days in next weeks heat wave, July 12-14, 2026. Actually, Saturday, July 11, 2026 will be on the hot side too(approaching 100).
The 12th and 13th
A couple of 100+ day in the Dakota's.
If soils were much drier in that area, the temperatures would be able to get much higher.

The 0Z Euro July 10th operational run has record breaking high 500 mb heights centered on the N Plains July 14th! Other models, including ensemble means, are similar and thus are supportive of this with July 14th and 13th both having extremely high heights:

Thanks very much, Larry. Extremely impressive!
This was the just updated 6z run of the European ensemble model for the same feature at its peak 24 hour forecast magnitude next Mon/Tue:

This was the prior 0z run at the PEAK of the dome from the EE:

We should note that the European model on the previous page is by far the most bullish of the models in forecasting the 600+ decameter height high for a pressure of 500 mb (This is equal to 6,000 meters above the surface) which is around halfway up in the atmosphere. In this case, that's almost 20,000 feet up!
This just out Canadian model includes the individual ensembles for next Monday evening(84 hours). Most of them peak out right at 600 dm. The average at the top is a smidgen less than 600 dm because a couple of ensembles below 600 dm, dragged down the mean to 599.9 or so. The blue dots at the top are the locations for the center of the DOME.
084h GZ 500 forecast valid on Jul 14, 2026 00UTC
Forecasts for global GEM, control (GEM 0) and the 20 ensemble members
