 The heat wave will continue to bake large portions of the interior west. Highs will be in the 90s across interior sections of the west with triple-digit heat across the valleys of California, around Las Vegas and Phoenix, and northward in the eastern parts of Washington and Oregon. It will be more comfortable closer to the coast in places like Seattle and San Francisco with highs in the 70s. Daytime heating will lead to afternoon thunderstorms popping up over eastern parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas, which can lead to localized flooding. That's the nation's weather.
