Summer 2024 could be remembered not just for its historic temperatures, but for its successive heat waves with unusual geographic reach. Here comes another one. Federal forecasters say a high pressure dome over the West is expanding and moving south and east, spreading sizzling temperatures from the Pacific Northwest to the South for much of the first full week of August.
Areas of particular concern include interior regions of the Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the desert Southwest, and Southern California — all expected to see unusually high daytime temperatures paired with nights that may not provide respite, the weather service said. 'The prolonged nature of the heat will increase the risk of heat-related illness,' it said in warning that much of the West would experience dangerous heat next week.
