As high-pressure aloft builds overhead late this week, the Desert Southwest and the central valley of California will be heating up to extreme levels. We have a look at some of the locations that will see their first 110 or 120-degree readings of 2013 in the days ahead.
Who Will See 110s?
Several cities will flirt with temperature readings of 110+ degrees later in the week ahead.
- Could reach 110 or higher Thursday, Friday or Saturday for the first time in 2013.
- Phoenix averages around 18 days of 110-degree heat each year (1981-2010 average).
- Will get close to 110 degrees Friday into Saturday.
- On average, temperatures reach 110 or higher around 7 to 8 days per year.
- Both of these California valley locations could approach the 110-degree mark on Saturday. Though Saturday will be the peak of the heat, highs in the 100s are expected in the days prior to the weekend.
- Record high temperatures will be challenged.
