90°+ Just about everywhere

The following image from AccuWeather.com just about sums up everything. For the record the thermometer in my car (which is parked in the shade) is reading 108°, KCRA reports 106°.

A few point of interest about the extreemly high temperatures. Saturday, Death Valley had a high of 125°, and then 126° on Sunday. About 40 cities had an all time high on Saturday, and 20 on Sunday. The following is from Jesse Ferrell’s Blog on AccuWeather

Other records of note are below. Probably 100 records were tied this weekend, and I couldn’t include them all, but I tried to include anything over 115 (120 for Cali), any records which were shattered, and one high from each state. Yesterday’s record list has been integrated into this one). Some but not all of these are all-time records and the previous records are indicated by parentheses ().
