(CNN) Unrelenting heat is expected to continue in the West after a late-June heat wave left hundreds dead in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. At least 13 deaths have been attributed to that heat wave in the Seattle area. Kate Brown said Sunday the "horrific" heat wave is "a harbinger of things to come" as climate change intensifies extreme weather and drought conditions. She said the state is undertaking a review of its response to the deadly heat wave and called for federal aid to assist with wildfire prevention efforts. The heat wave over the weekend is expected to last throughout the next week.
