Las Vegas is heading into one of its hottest weeks of the year, with forecasters warning that temperatures could climb above 110°F (43°C) by midweek. After the remnants of Tropical Storm Douglas moved away, drier air has returned to southern Nevada, allowing a strong high-pressure system to push temperatures well above normal.
While no widespread school or office closures have been announced, residents are being urged to take precautions against the dangerous heat.
