PHOENIX (AP) — Parts of California, Nevada and Arizona are expected to bake this week as the first heat wave of the season arrives with triple-digit temperatures. That includes Phoenix, which last summer saw a record 31 straight days of at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The National Weather Services says most of an area stretching from southeast California to central Arizona will see “easily their hottest” weather since last September by the middle of the week. Record daily highs will be in jeopardy from Las Vegas to Phoenix. Excessive heat warnings have been issued from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 8 p.m. Friday.
