This will continue what has been near-constant heat since May. San Antonio, Texas, for example, has experienced above average temperatures 40 out of the past 42 days and has had their hottest start to the summer on record.

Starting Saturday, the heat will be relegated to the Plains and remain in place into next week as a cold front moves through the eastern third of the country.
The latest 6- to 10-day outlook from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center shows the highest likelihood of above-average temperatures could shift toward the western U.S. later next week, providing some relief for the sweltering southern states.
