Las Vegas has broken the all-time high temperature record.

According to the National Weather Service, we hit 118 degrees at 2:33 p.m. before climbing up to 119 degrees at 3:15 p.m. It eventually reached 120 degrees at 4 p.m.

Excessive heat warnings are expected to stay in place through Thursday.

Channel 13 meteorologist Geneva Zoltek has also been tracking which daily records may be broken over the next couple of days.

As the heat wave continues to pass through the southwest, we also chatted with our sister station in Phoenix to talk about the differences and similarities between the weather in our cities.
