00:00Well, the East Coast heat wave has certainly ended, but in the West, we're dealing with an escalating ridge of
00:06high pressure that's going to be dealing some tremendous heat to many areas, especially in the mountain time zone from
00:12the Rockies up into areas like the Northern Plains, eventually into the central time zone as well.
00:17So beginning this Friday and Saturday and Sunday, strengthening high pressure is going to begin to bake parts of the
00:23interior southwest. It's already toasty. It's going to get hotter out there, especially in places like Wyoming, Utah, Montana, and
00:29eventually early next week up into parts of the Dakotas as well. The Northern Plains will certainly step into this.
00:36We're going to be dealing with near record highs several days in a row.
00:39The first day that we really step into it will be Saturday. You can see Salt Lake City is going
00:43to be around 105. The daily record for July 11th is 106. The all-time record high for Salt Lake
00:48City, we've achieved it four times, is 107. We're going to be relatively close to that. Grand Junction, 104, that
00:54would tie the record there. Billings should tie a record as well. And we're going to hold on to the
00:57heat into early next week in Salt Lake City in a big way.
