It’s about to get very hot. A prolonged heat wave is hitting Western states with Bay Area temperatures expected to get 20 to 30 degrees above average, likely shattering temperature records for March. And that’s after what has already been the warmest winter on record for most of the West. We’ll talk with climate scientist Daniel Swain about this unusual ‘heat dome’ and what it could mean for our already meager snowpack, the coming wildfire season and our water supply.
