PHOENIX — Phoenix has hit 110 degrees for the first time this month!
We officially topped out at 111 degrees Tuesday, putting us just shy of the record 113 degrees set in 2011.
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for the Valley until 8 p.m. Wednesday, so we're in ABC15 Weather Action Mode.
Take action to keep yourself, your family and your pets safe in this extreme heat. Stay hydrated with plenty of water and electrolyte drinks.
Limit your time outside from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and keep your pets inside, too.
Cars heat up fast! So, don't leave your kids or pets unattended in your vehicle.
While we may see a few spotty storms in the higher terrain and in southeastern Arizona, our Valley forecast is looking dry for the next few days.
We'll see a slight chance (10 percent) of an isolated storm or two making it down from the higher terrain and into the Valley on Friday or Saturday. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
