"Excessive heat warnings are in place for much of the Southwest into the valleys in California where highs will soar well past 100 degrees," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said.

Over 20 million people are under either an excessive heat warning or advisory across the west.
Heat warnings and advisories include cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Fresno and Sacramento, with heat advisories for San Jose and much of California's central coast.
Dozens of high temperatures records are forecast as the heat builds and spreads east over the weekend, with 90-degree temperatures surging north into the Rockies, Hennen said.
Although the southwestern US can experience excessive heat throughout the spring, the rarity of such heat in late May is worth noting.
Las Vegas is forecast to surpass 105 degrees on both Thursday and Friday. Highs above 105 degrees have not occurred in late May in nearly two decades.
