UNITED STATES - The Southern and Western United States regions are gearing up for some warm weather as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts high temperatures over the next week.

Starting today—Tuesday, June 4—a total of 37 major cities are forecast to have dangerous levels of heat on one or more days, The New York Times reported.

This includes cities across Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Louisiana. Laredo, Texas, seems to be seeing the highest temperatures among the regions, with temps climbing to 116° F today and rising to 117° F tomorrow.
