DANGEROUS HEAT GRIPS WEST

FOX Weather Meteorologist Kiyana Lewis has the forecast for a heat wave that is
bring life-threatening heat to the West.

LAS VEGAS – Meteorological summer has just started, and already millions of
people across the West are preparing for potentially life-threatening
heat-related illnesses due to a change in the weather pattern that will result
in triple-digit temperatures during the region’s first summer heat wave.




Computer forecast models are showing building ridges of high pressure from the
Pacific Ocean and Mexico that will help to crank up the heat during the week.

A similar pattern has already caused record-breaking temperatures south of the
border, with dozens of people and animals in Mexico reported to have been killed
over the past month.

The FOX Forecast Center said that while it will still be extremely hot in the
western U.S., it won’t be as extreme as what has been seen recently in Mexico.

By Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures in Phoenix and Las Vegas could approach
or exceed 110 degrees, while Death Valley in California could see a high
temperature of 118 degrees or higher.

If Las Vegas reaches at least 110 degrees on Wednesday (June 5), it would set a
new record for the earliest 110-degree day on record in the city. The current
record is June 6, which was set in 2010.

Sacramento in California will also likely get above 100 degrees this week, with
a forecast high temperature Tuesday of 102 degrees, followed by 104 degrees
Wednesday.

These temperatures constitute readings that will be 10-20 degrees above average
for much of inland California and the Desert Southwest.

Utah, New Mexico and Texas under a heat alert.

WARNINGS, ADVISORIES


HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEATSTROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION

The two heat-related illnesses can appear very similar, but have dangerously
different outcomes.

National Weather Service meteorologists warn of heat-related illnesses for those
who are not drinking plenty of fluids and do not have access to air
conditioning.

Additionally, overnight lows will not drop into a comfortable range, which will
impose an additional burden on people and pets hoping to cool off after sunset.

This is the heat risk map in the West on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

(FOX Weather)

In many of the areas where daily records could be tied or broken, the National
Weather Service’s HeatRisk map has labeled communities at a Level 3 or 4 out of
4 for impacts.

The HeatRisk threat level takes into consideration the unusual nature of the
heat, the duration of the extreme temperatures and potential health impacts.

At a code red (Level 3) stage, heat affects anyone who is not adequately
hydrated or those without access to cooling. This is a stage below a code
magenta (Level 4).

A Level 4 signifies extreme heat that is either rare or long in duration. Health
systems can be impacted by an influx of patients with heat-related illnesses. 

Parts of the Las Vegas metro are in the extreme, Level 4 out of 4, risk zone on
Thursday and Friday.
