Excessive heat will grip parts of the West this week.The hot temperatures are the result of a large heat dome in the region.
A large dome of high pressure in the upper atmosphere has developed over the West. Beneath the dome, sinking air is causing temperatures to soar well over 100 degrees in many areas. The core of the heat will be most persistent in the Southwest, but it will also affect parts of the Great Basin and Rockies. It will spread into California's central valley by later in the week.
Billings, Montana, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Sacramento are some of the cities that could set at least daily record highs in the week ahead.
