00:36While the heat dome that drove last week's record temperatures is expected to weaken,
00:40it's also helping to spark thunderstorms across parts of the Midwest and Northeast today. Flash

00:52heat dome that's expected to build over the Rockies and expand toward the Pacific coast later this week.
