A historic heat wave is reaching its maximum intensity across the Southwest U.S. and California on Sunday and is predicted to establish numerous records well above 100 degrees. Death Valley, Calif., infamous for its heat, is predicted to reach at least 128 and could touch 130, matching the highest temperature observed worldwide in the past 90 years.
Even as the heat is forecast to very slowly ease in the West during the workweek, it is expected to become more entrenched and expand over the south-central and southeastern U.S., where tropical-like humidity is already producing dangerously high heat indexes.
