Storms to hit Midwest ahead of heat dome, Michigan storms next week. Get Bill Steffen's forecast

Rounds of storms will rumble and roar through portions of the eastern and central United States in the days ahead of and during a massive heat dome forecast for the end of June and the first days of July.

A pair of storms will roll from the Plains to the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley into Friday.

As the heat dome builds over the Midwest next week, however, complexes of thunderstorms will move around its rim from the Rockies and High Plains to the northern tier of the Midwest and much of the Northeast.

Storms and shower activity could be volatile next week.
