SAINT LOUIS, MO (KMOX) - Forecasters at AccuWeather say a 'dome of heat' is shifting our way as the week begins.
AccuWeather says temperatures in cities like Chicago and St. Louis will soar well above-normal levels on Monday.
The heat will build into Tuesday -- the start of the 2022 Summer Solstice.
"Chicago will record high temperatures in the low to mid 90s F on Monday and may challenge triple digits on Tuesday," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.

By Tuesday, forecasters predict potentially dangerous heat from the Plains through the Midwest and into the Southeast. In places like St. Louis, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures could climb into the middle 100s during the peak of afternoon heating on Tuesday, Pydynowski noted.
"Residents who can will want to make plans to stay indoors in air conditioning whenever possible or drink plenty of water if they have to be out in the heat," Pydynowski cautioned.
