US heat advisories and extreme heat warnings are posted across parts of the west, including California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

The western US faces a tough week with major wildfires like the Gifford Fire near Los Angeles burning over 114,000 acres and causing evacuations. Heat advisories are active across western states, while Colorado and northern US deal with poor air quality from wildfires and Canadian smoke.

Fires, storms and the potential for near-record high temperatures across the western U.S. are in the offing for the coming week.
