SAN FRANCISCO — Western states are about to feel what it has been like in scorching California the last few days – minus the beaches.

The extreme heat that broiled the drought-ravaged Golden State over the Labor Day weekend will continue for much of the week while also having a similar effect on states east of California, forecasters said Monday.

More than 100 records for daily high temperatures could be broken between Sunday and Wednesday, the National Weather Service said, using terms like “blistering heat’’ and “uncomfortably hot’’ overnight lows to illustrate what lies ahead in the West at least until Thursday.

Death Valley could hit 125 degrees; more than 39M under warnings

The nation’s hottest spot, Death Valley, California, is predicted to hit 125 degrees Tuesday. The state capital of Sacramento, which had not climbed above 109 degrees in any previous September, is expected to top 110 all but one day this week until Saturday. Fresno in the Central Valley figures to surge past its September record of 111.

Heat warnings and advisories are in place for much of California and Nevada, but also for parts of Utah, Oregon, Idaho and Arizona, the weather service said.

Dave Houk, a senior meteorologist at Accuweather, said several of those states have already been impacted by this monster heat wave but not to the extent they will be in the next two days.

For example, Houk pointed out the highest temperature ever recorded in Boise, Idaho, on a Sept. 6 – Tuesday’s date – is 98 degrees. The forecasts for Tuesday and Wednesday are 103 and 104, respectively.

“As you go through northern Nevada, Idaho and into Montana, there’s going to be another surge that is even more extreme than what they went through,’’ Houk said, extending that prediction to Salt Lake City and parts of Wyoming. “They are going to be in the core of the heat.’’

Accuweather said Monday that more than 39 million people were under warnings for excessive heat, although the coastal northwest if finally getting some relief.
