A dangerous and long-duration heat wave will build across the West this weekend through much of next week, leading to heightened wildfire danger and possibly increased coronavirus spread.

In California, the heat will lead to increased wildfire danger and a higher threat of the spreading of the coronavirus as people flock to beaches and recreation areas.

Palm Springs and other desert regions could approach 120 degrees and even cooler areas, such as coastal regions and portions of San Francisco, could reach 80 degrees, the Weather Service predicted.Late Friday, the Golden State ordered rolling power outages for the first time since 2011 as a statewide heat wave strained its electrical system.

The emergency declaration ended just before 10 p.m. and California ISO said power had been restored statewide. Excessive heat warnings and watches and heat advisories are in effect for the West Coast, Intermountain West, and the southern Plains, where record high minimum and maximum temperatures will be widespread, the Weather Service said.

Trump says UAE and Israel to normalize relations in deal that pauses West Bank annexationsPresident Donald Trump on Thursday announced that the United Arab Emirates and Israel agreed to establish normal diplomatic relations in a development that will put on pause Israel's efforts to annex parts of the West Bank claimed by Palestinians. Anytime these days I see a phrase that starts with 'Trump says.....'....I stop reading unless I have time to waste Israel and the UAE have been not-so-secret allies for decades. This deal opens diplomatic ties and travel routes but it's a peace deal in name only. It leaves Palestinians out of a solution and pushes them closer to Iran. By suspending annexation, Israel maintains its occupation.
