00:00Dangerous heat is gripping the south, while fire weather threatens much of the west and northwest.
00:05And forecasters say there's no quick relief in sight.
00:08High temperatures are expected in the 90s Sunday and into the new workweek across Salt Lake City, Boise, and Reno.
00:15Those dry, warm conditions have triggered red flag warnings in parts of the northwest and northern Rockies,
00:21adding extra challenges for firefighters already stretched thin battling major wildfires.
00:26On top of the heat and fire risk, forecasters are also watching a slight risk for severe storms across the
00:33northern plains,
00:34central Montana, and the eastern Great Basin.
00:37The main threats there are damaging winds and large hail, with cities like Billings and Pocatello in the path.
00:43And some isolated storms could bring spotty flooding, too.
