The heat will stretch from Arizona and Texas through to the Plains and northern Rockies while fueling thunderstorms along its eastern edge. AccuWeather meteorologists predicted the lowest temperature will be 101 F in Denver, Colorado but the highest will be experienced in Phoenix, Arizona where it will be 119 F - hotter than the Sahara. The hottest conditions are expected from Friday through Monday, with temperatures climbing 10 to 20 degrees above historical averages.

A noteworthy weather pattern will evolve next week across the lower 48 states, featuring a massive and intense area of high pressure sprawled out across the center of the country, like an annoying partner taking up the entire bed while snoring loudly. It's been clear for several days that a prolonged heat wave is coming, particularly for the Plains, portions of the Midwest and Southeast.

Based on computer model projections on Friday, the likelihood of hundreds of high temperature records during the height of the heat wave has fallen somewhat, but the health threat the heat poses has become more distinct. As Mashable reported on Wednesday, it is still likely that the high pressure area will be unusually intense, possibly coming close to a record based on one meteorological indicator.
