Withering Heat Roasts Western U.S.

"Record temperatures are searing parts of the West, with triple-digit
readings in California, and meteorologists say there's more sweating to
come. Residents of more than a dozen cities endured record highs on
Tuesday, including 112 at Lancaster; 109 at Sacramento; 106 at Medford,
Ore., 103 at Grand Junction, Colo., 102 at Reno, Nev.; and 84 at
Quillayute, Wash. Non-record readings included 114 at Needles. "Looks like
Wednesday's going to be the hottest day in this heat wave," said National
Weather Service meteorologist Ken Newman in Monterey. "Another scorcher.
Wednesday's forecast high for Reno, elevation 4,500 feet, was 107, which
would be an all-time record, the National Weather Service said."
