Record-breaking and potentially deadly heat is continuing to bake the central United States on Tuesday, with many areas seeing temperatures above 100 degrees once again.
And those temperatures are sticking around. Triple-digit temperatures are expected to last through at least the end of the week.
Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories are in effect. (FOX Weather)
Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories remain in effect for millions of Americans from the Plains and Southwest to the Gulf Coast.
Central and North Texas, as well as most of Oklahoma and Arkansas, are in the Excessive Heat Warning, which will remain in effect until Wednesday night.
The Heat Advisories are in effect across an area at stretches from southern and eastern New Mexico, Texas, Kansas and the Mississippi and Tennessee valleys.
People living and working in those areas must take precautions to prevent deadly heat-related illnesses, like heatstroke and heat exhaustion.
"Of course, this is that time of year when we really deal with our highest temperatures as we work our way through July into August, but this is extreme," FOX Weather meteorologist Britta Merwin said.

The best time to go outdoors during a hot summer day is in the early morning or late in the evening, when temperatures tend to be cooler than during the afternoon.
If you need to go outdoors during the heat of the day, experts advise you to wear loose, light-colored clothing and drink plenty of fluids.
