Extreme heat that will challenge records is set to peak Friday and Saturday from the Desert Southwest to California’s Central Valley, before sliding toward the central and eastern U.S. Highs could surge 10 to 15 degrees or more above average.
The National Weather Service's forecast for high temperatures on Saturday. Extreme heat that will challenge records is set to peak Friday and Saturday from the Desert Southwest to California’s Central Valley, before sliding toward the central and eastern United States. Highs could surge 10 to 15 degrees or more above average, exposing 45 million Americans to triple-digit heat.
Although it has been a dry heat in places including Arizona, Nevada and Southern California, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will be drawn northward in the central and eastern United States. The resulting combination of heat and humidity will produce conditions that feel well over 105 degrees for an extended period next week, contributing to dangerous heat stress for vulnerable groups, including older adults and the homeless.
More than 30 million residents from the Desert Southwest through California’s Central Valley are under heat advisories and warnings into the weekend. Similar advisories were posted in south-central Texas, with a special bulletin issued for the Houston-Galveston metro area to emphasize the risk of heat-related illnesses.Phoenix and Las Vegas are under excessive-heat warnings through Sunday, with temperatures expected to challenge records.
