PHOENIX — Get ready for a sizzling hot Father's Day weekend in the Valley!
Our Excessive Heat Warnings have now been extended until 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Phoenix temperatures will be back into record territory, too. The record highs for both Saturday and Sunday are 115 degrees, both set back in 2021.
This extreme heat is increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, so we remain in ABC15 Weather Action mode as a reminder to take action to keep you and your family safe during this stretch of dangerously hot days.
Stay hydrated, limit your time outside between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and watch for signs of heat-related illnesses like dizziness, changes in pulse and muscle cramps.
We are also tracking a weak storm system moving through our state right now. It's bringing lots of clouds and even some light showers to some Arizona spots.
Here in the Valley, we'll see a slight chance of a few light, isolated showers in the Valley through early Friday morning. Then, we will dry out over the weekend all across Arizona.
Monsoon 2024 officially begins on Saturday, June 15th and the outlook this year has odds favoring another drier and hotter-than-normal season.
