have incredible heat building across the west. temperatures already 91 in phoenix. we have a zonal pattern which means we don't have too much in the way of big storm systems moving in. we'll have scattered showers along the gulf coast, the upper great lakes and towards the northeast we have a weak system moving into the northwest. the problem is the heat. it's building. it's going to last much of the week and it's really dry. i mean, they're into an epic drought here, extreme drought for all of these regions. when you're dealing with temperatures into the 100-degree range, that's going to be dangerous today and through the workweek. the drought monitor, we have many fires burning across the west. it will be an early fire season and it will last for a few months ahead of us. so that's the big deal across the map today. there's the forecast, 71 in new york with scattered showers across the northeast, the gulf coast as well as the northwest. otherwise, it's just hot. i mean, that's the headline.
