Another Dangerous Heat Wave Scorches California And Western U.S.
HuffPost
Death Valley is forecasted to reach 130 degrees this weekend.
Another heat wave descending on California and other parts of the western U.S. is expected to shatter temperature records, strain the power grid and threaten millions of people’s health. Temperatures were already approaching the triple digits across much of the region on Friday, and weather officials said people should prepare for it to get even hotter over the weekend. The weather will rival the heat waves that boiled the West and Pacific Northwest just a few weeks ago, the latter of which killed nearly 200 people. “Numerous daily high temperature records could be in jeopardy of being broken, particularly for California and Nevada. Highs could approach 115-120 degrees for the lower elevations of Arizona and eastern California this weekend!” the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center warned in its Friday forecast.More Related News
