A record heat wave will continue to roast much of the USA through the weekend, fanning wildfires in the Colorado Rockies, threatening outdoor workers and causing some municipalities to cancel fireworks in time for July Fourth.
The heat has broken all-time records from the northern Great Plains to the Southeast already this week. The rest of the month will bring even more scorching heat from Boston to Atlanta, with temperatures reaching into the low 100s, said Meteorologist Michael Palmer of The Weather Channel.
To get this kind of heat in late June is unusual and most likely historic for many areas, Palmer said. Temperatures will gradually cool in the latter half of next week, but Itll be hot on July Fourth just about everywhere.
This weeks temperatures broke records in some areas that date to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Benkelman, Neb., cooked at 114 degrees Wednesday, beating a previous June record of 111 set in 1936, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
The weather will continue to harry firefighters battling the Waldo Canyon wildfire that has destroyed hundreds of homes in Colorado Springs.
We are seeing a prediction concerning the temperatures and the results of those temperatures right now. And all people like Pattycake can do is flap yap with meaningless comebacks. Meanwhile, people are losing their homes to unprecedented storms and firestorms.
