Record heat will build across the Plains and South, then push eastward this week, as dozens of daily records could fall. Highs will run 15 to 20 degrees above normal this week, but the humidity might be the main concern. High humidity levels will cause temperatures to feel much warmer, so make sure you protect yourself from the heat as much as possible.
