Wildfire explodes to 21,000 acres as heat wave continues

The historic heat wave in the West is not relenting -- and the high temperatures may be contributing to a massive wildfire that's exploded in size.

Las Vegas hit 116 degrees on Wednesday, breaking a daily record, while Grand Junction, Colorado, reached 105 degrees, an all-time June record.

On Thursday, the heat moves into Northern California and the Plains.

California residents have been asked to scale down their power usage to prevent a strain on the system, reported ABC San Francisco station KGO.

Will happen soon. A little drought, a little heat, and a lightning storm.

Welcome to the West West Virginia.

You aren't immune.

And them Smokey Mountains a little South will soon be real smoky.
