Mashable: A heat dome comprised of an intense, sprawling area of high pressure sat on top of the Southwest for a third straight day. Although it shows some signs of weakening, the heat dome may intensify again by early next week, raising the possibility of a prolonged hot and dry weather pattern in an already parched region. Firefighters are making some headway in containing fires across the Southwest, though exceedingly hot temperatures in the region aren't helping. Crews have made progress containing...

Improved weather in the aftermath of a severe heat wave allowed firefighters to make progress against two fires in the steep San Gabriel Mountains 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Some evacuations below in the foothill city of Duarte were being lifted, but the calm was not expected to last. "We will have stronger...

Excessive heat advisories and "red flag warnings" for extreme fire conditions were in effect across southern portions of California, Nevada and Arizona, the National Weather Service reported on the eve of the first official day...
120 degrees! Western wildfires explode with triple-digit heat wave on the way
2016-06-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: If you live in Arizona, California or Nevada, watch out for temperatures as high as 120 degrees in the next few days. That is not a typo. Excessive heat warnings are in effect beginning this weekend until as late as next Wednesday for the southern half of Arizona, much of Southern California and a tiny slice at the southernmost tip of Nevada. advertisement Those happen to be areas where out-of-control wildfires will only be fueled by the approaching heat. Cities in the mercury-popping...
