The heat wave will break in the eastern U.S. and it will not be nearly as hot, but a ridge will build in the western U.S., leading to escalating temperatures and terrible air quality in the Great Basin.

00:00We are trading places next week as we're getting finally relief from the heat wave in the east.
00:05The heat will be building in the west.
00:08The cool down in the northeast is going to be significant.
00:10Some of you in places like New York City and Boston will likely only be in the 70s for a
00:16day or two next week.
00:17We're going to be 15 to 20 degrees cooler than we will have been during the throes of this current
00:22heat wave.
00:23Into Monday and Monday afternoon, evening, we've got strong storms into the mid-Atlantic states,
00:28finally bringing some relief to parts of North Carolina and southern Virginia
00:32that are a little bit more delayed in getting the cool down.
00:35So as a trough becomes a little more established in the east, a huge ridge builds to the west.
00:41It'll get very hot across the interior.
00:43Also, steamy weather will be present into Texas.
00:46The temperature is above 110 degrees in areas like Phoenix.
00:49And under this ridge, the smoke from some of these southwestern wildfires will be trapped for days.
00:55And looking beyond next week into the following weekend,
00:58we get really steamy across the mountain time zone with the ridge even strengthening further.
