A strengthening ridge of high pressure aloft will ensure a heat wave continues across much of the western U.S. for the next few days. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories engulf much of the western third of the Lower 48 except the Sierra Nevada. \u00a0Record high temperatures are forecast for many locations the next few days as afternoon temperatures surpass the century mark from the interior Pacific Northwest down to the Desert Southwest.
