BOISE, Idaho — Boise broke an 82-year-old heat record on Monday, the National Weather Service said. 

At 7 a.m., the recorded temperature was 91 degrees. That's the highest since hourly records began being recorded in 1939.

The NWS says a shower that passed through the area and created a heat burst caused the high temperature. 

Highs are expected to remain in the triple digits this week.
