Death Valley is forecast to reach 127°F in the coming days.
You know it's hot when Death Valley, California breaks high temperature records.
A long-duration, dangerous heat event is setting up for parts of the West that will begin Friday and last into next week. More than 34 million people are under excessive heat watches and warnings across California and the Southwest. Most of the heat alerts go into effect on Friday and will stay in effect through early next week. During this time, dozens of record highs could be set in the coming days for cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson and Salt Lake City.
This heat event will be especially dangerous due to higher than normal humidity due to tropical moisture streaming into the region from what was Hurricane Elida, which has since dissipated.
