Do wind farms have a significant impact on weather patterns in the US?

Do wind farms have a significant impact on weather patterns in the US?: "

On my way in to work today there was a guest on the radio claiming that the 'Heat Dome' was the result of the disturbance of natural wind patterns by the windfarms that have proliferated the midwestern US in the last decade. He also said that it was not being moved out because of this disturbance as well.



I have seen some of the data about the bird kills and local impacts but is there any evidence that these wind farms can have an impact that is this widespread and lasting?



I know there are just as many on the other side claiming this is global warming and I am not asking about the cause of the Heat Dome just if there is any evidence of the windfarms having an effect that impacts more than local weather patterns.
