Fiery reds and oranges nearly covered the United States on meteorologist maps as a massive heat wave hit hard in much of the country on Saturday.
Temperatures averaged up to 15 degrees above normal, with most peaks in the 90s but over-100-degree heat expected to strike from Montana to New Mexico, according to lead meteorologists for The Weather Channel and The National Weather Service.
The NWS issued excessive heat warnings and watches for the Midwest from Texas to Canada, and heat index values over 110 degrees are possible for portions of the central and eastern U.S. by the middle of next week.
Locations affected are expected to see temperatures and heat indexes of up to 117 degrees, including cities like Minneapolis where that is unusual.
