A day after a tiny desert community in Southern California reached 108 degrees (42.2 Celsius), tying the highest March temperature ever recorded in the U.S., forecasters warned Thursday that record-breaking winter heat across the Southwest will continue into the weekend.
North Shore, California, on Wednesday tied a mark first set at Rio Grande City, Texas, in 1954. The aptly named town of Thermal, also in the California desert northeast of San Diego, was forecast to hit 110 (43.3 C) degrees on Friday.
