 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Jason Walker. Forecasters say that long running heat wave. Well, there's just no let up to it. It will persist throughout the week and maybe even get hotter. National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Jackson. We have a heat dome that is centered over California today and it will just persist for most of this week. We're expecting it to merely drift east over the Great Basin through the middle part of the week.
