Here are probabilities (70 percent or greater) of afternoon high temperatures expected to reach or exceed 105 degrees on Saturday for select locations across the valley. Temperatures will get close to 120 degrees across Central Arizona and the California deserts.Ī significant heatwave is predicted to impact the San Joaquin Valley this weekend. Heat alerts now cover portions of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California and Oregon as temperatures are expected to soar above 100 degrees for many locations through the weekend and into early next week. ‘First widespread heatwave of the season’ in the West A chunk of that population is in the West. Roughly 90 million people are under heat alerts across the US, and it’s not just in the South. Temperatures will still be hot in the 90s, but cooler compared to the triple digits happening now. Temperatures will stay hot through the weekend, then finally fall by early next week. Relief will take a little longer for areas in the Southeast. More than 100 record high minimum temperatures could fall during the next five days. Overnight temperatures will also stay warm, even in Texas. Nearly 20 record highs across the region could be broken over the next two days.īrutal humidity will combine with record high temperatures to crank up heat index values and make it feel like 110 to 115 degrees in places like Memphis, where nearly 25 thousand people are still without power after powerful storms ripped through the area over the weekend. Temperatures will climb above 100 degrees in Shreveport and elsewhere across the Southeast as the “heat dome” – a persistent ridge of high pressure – expands into the region. Both had preexisting conditions, the coroner said, which made them more vulnerable to heat illness. Just four days later, on June 25, a 49-year-old man collapsed while walking in the 95-plus degree heat in Shreveport and later died. Temperatures were in the 90s for days leading up to the time she was found on June 21. A 62-year-old woman died in her Keithville home after going without electricity from storms that knocked out power across the Shreveport area. The heat in the Southeast has already killed two people in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, the county coroner told CNN.
Southeast to swelter as heat dome settles in While Texas temperatures fall, the heat will worsen elsewhere. “Temperatures will still be hot, but considering we’ve seen multiple days above 110 recently, highs in the 90s will feel cooler,” forecasters at the National Weather Service office in San Angelo said. San Angelo could have its coolest day since June 16 and hit the 90s on Saturday, a feat possible across other portions of southern Texas. Other places across South Texas will finally catch a break from that kind of heat by the weekend.
