Millions in Southwest bracing for 'dangerous and deadly heatwave'

While temperature records this spring have already fallen across much of the country, a potentially deadly heat wave will take aim at the southwestern U.S. over the coming days, the National Weather Service is warning.

The latest heat wave will affect California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado over the next 24 hours before pushing east into Texas and states in the Central Plains.

Heat will build across the southwest into this weekend with plenty of 100+ temps across the southwest and CA central valley. Cooler temperatures return next week as the heat surges eastward into the Plains.https://t.co/asAP108BNk pic.twitter.com/VHpi08J92t

Triple-digit temperatures are forecast across several states. Las Vegas is expected to hit 111 degrees F on Friday and Saturday. Highs in Phoenix will be even hotter, hitting 113 on Saturday and Sunday, and 114 on Monday. Austin, Texas, could reach 107 over the weekend and Dallas could hit 105 on Sunday.

Temperatures of 110 plus are normal in the Phoenix area. I am not sure why they are saying it is a "dangerous heatwave".
