While a heat wave brings the hottest temperatures so far this year to the Midwest and Northeast, forecasters also are discussing heat domes. What's the difference? A heat dome forms when high pressure in the upper atmosphere causes the air below it to sink, heat up and expand. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)
