Prolonged, Record-Breaking Heat Wave Building Over West Coast

(Undated)  --  A prolonged and dangerous heat wave is building over the West Coast.  National Weather Service meteorologist Adam Roser says high temperatures are set to soar from Montana to San Diego. 

Roser says expect a gradual warm-up each day through the week peaking during the holiday weekend.  A high pressure system is moving into the region creating a "heat dome," which is the reason for the intense and extreme conditions.  Dozens of heat records in the western U.S. are forecast to either be tied or broken this week.  Meteorologists say the hottest areas will be in the Southwest.
