There is little that's **rmal about the heat wave roasting the Southwest U.S. during the past several days.

So far, slightly lower temperatures are expected on Wednesday, and there were ** heat-related delays or cancelations as of Wednesday morning, American Airlines said in an email.
The reason for the flight cancelations is that the heat plus the relatively high altitudes in the Southwest caused the air to be so thin that it was impossible for small jets' wings to generate e**ugh lift to become safely airborne. Since Sunday, more than 100 flights were canceled due to the heat, according to American Airlines and news reports. Read more...
