The weeklong heat wave that baked most of the U.S. Southwest in temperatures well into triple digits is on its last legs, but forecasters are still urging people to be cautious. A slight easing of temperatures is expected through the weekend, with Phoenix and Las Vegas falling short of besting any new records. An excessive heat warning continues through Saturday in Las Vegas, where it's never been hotter this time of year. It was a record-high 110 degrees Fahrenheit in Las Vegas on Friday, 113 degrees F in Phoenix and 100 degrees F in Albuquerque. Even in Florida, forecasters say heat indices have been topping triple digits and records were expected to fall for some cities in the central part of that state.
