It's always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024's endless summer has been especially hot in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures. According to data from the National Weather Service, that's long since shattered the record of 76 days in a row set back in 1993. The temperature hit 102 in Phoenix on May 27 and has made it to triple digits every day since. It doesn't look like a break is coming any time soon. Unseasonably high September temperatures are expected this week across the western U.S.

Kennedy Jr.'s campaign to appear on the Nevada ballot, likely bringing his his insurgent quest to shake up the Republican and Democratic dominance of U.S. elections to a crucial battleground state. Kennedy Jr. has gained traction with a famous name and a loyal base, and he has the potential to do better than any independent presidential candidate in decades. Some strategists from both major parties fear he could tip the election against them. There still could be room for legal challenges for ballot access, including a Democratic-backed lawsuit challenging Kennedy Jr.'s ballot standing in Nevada.

The first heat wave of the season is bringing triple-digit temperatures earlier than usual to much of the Southwest U.S. Forecasters warned residents Tuesday to be ready for "dangerously hot conditions" with highs expected to top 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the days ahead in Las Vegas and Phoenix. By Wednesday, the National Weather Service says most of an area stretching from southeast California to central Arizona will see "easily their hottest" weather since last September. Record daily highs will be in jeopardy throughout the region. The unseasonably hot weather is expected to make its way into parts of the Pacific Northwest by the end of the week.
