Wow the 112°F July average high is damn impressive. I though Lake Havasu City or Blythe were the hottest spots of the Colorado valley. LHC's mean is hotter though as averages warmer nights than Bullhead City. Feeling the blast of heat while getting out of the ACed hotel in Laughlin, NV at night is one of the most memorable weather experiences in my life.
It's still something to experience. Dry heat feels quite difference to humid heat with a simila heat index.
Yeah, LHC is hotter at night. They have a 93 F (34 C) low predicted tonight compared to a "cool" 89 F (32 C) at Bullhead City.
I find it interesting you've been to Laughlin before, I think they have the record high for NV at 125 or 126 F (52 C) what were the temps like while you were there?

ORD which is usually one of the cooler stations is up to 93F/34C at this hour. MDW at 91F/33C. I cooled down a bit to 87F/31C as storms are firing to my south, though my dew point is now up to 73F/23C. My station's high was 92F/33C

DISCUSSION...
Investigating the N hemispheric pattern towards long term trends,
low pressure prevails across the Gulf of Alaska parent with a -EPO.
Fairly near-zonal progressive flow follows thereafter through which
pacific-origin impulses advect quickly E round a H5 low maintaining
over the Hudson Bay region of Canada. Thus with the -PNA / +NAO /
+AO teleconnections, would not expecting any deep, robust systems
for the remainder of the week into the weekend as ensemble means and
probabilistics would contend.
But it`ll be interesting to see how the pattern evolves into July as
ensemble means signal a ridge to build back over the W CONUS with a
+PNA trend netting a prevailing trough E. Climate Prediction Center
and forecasts have high confidence of above average temperatures
over the W CONUS along with excessive heat. Meanwhile for the NE,
such a pattern could yield near- or below-average temperatures and a
more active weather pattern. Perhaps welcoming given the deficit in
rainfall across the region that extends well back into 2015.

confidence, and overall expected outcomes
