A late-season heatwave will continue this weekend across the Southwest
U.S. as high pressure aloft persists over the region. Record or
near-record high temperatures are forecast over a rather widespread region
including central and southern California through the Desert Southwest
where there will be temperatures reaching over 100 degrees. Some of the
interior deserts of the Southwest my locally reach over 110 degrees.
Heat-related advisories and warnings are in place as the heat remains at
levels dangerous to anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. As a
cold front crosses through the Northwest and ejects east across the
northern Plains and upper Mississippi Valley through Saturday, some of the
heat across the interior of the West will also eject east across portions
of the Plains and Midwest where high temperatures will be locally 20 to 25
degrees above average, which may result in a few record-high temperatures
here as well.
