Record March heat wave bakes more than 40M across the West with dangerous temperatures

High temperatures are soaring as much as 35 degrees above average for this time of year from California to the Great Plains, as a dangerous March heat wave roasts more than 40 million people. Phoenix rose to 102 degrees Wednesday and parts of California also reached triple digits. The hottest days are expected to be Thursday through Saturday but relief will not be immediate. According to the FOX Forecast Center, dozens of record high temperatures will likely be shattered over the next week.
