An early-season heat wave is set to bake huge swaths of the country this week, with record or near-record high temperatures expected across the northern and the southern Plains, the Southwest and much of central and southern Texas.
Temperatures will reach the 90s in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota on Monday, with some areas potentially seeing highs in the triple digits, according to the National Weather Service.
Beginning Tuesday, the hottest conditions will be found in Texas, where temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher will be comm
