 In the American West, more heat. ABC's Alex Stone. California is moving into what's called Phase 2 of its Extreme Temperature Response Plan with a state operations center opening that will coordinate the statewide response. In much of the state, the heat will be above 100 degrees. In some areas, 115 degrees for days without much recovery at night. In many areas, cooling centers are opening for those who need them, like the elderly and the homeless. Alex Stone, ABC News, Los Angeles.
