PHOENIX — Monsoon storms hit parts of the East Valley Thursday night and there's a chance for more heading into Labor Day weekend.
The best chances for storms will be in the higher terrain, but there's a slight chance of storms making it into the Valley again on Friday or Saturday.
Watch out for gusty winds that could top 45 mph, blowing dust, frequent lightning and pockets of heavy rain with any of the storms that hit.
The heat is on heading into Labor Day weekend, too!
Valley highs will top out between 106 and 110 degrees over the next few days.
An Excessive Heat Warning is now in effect for the Phoenix Metro Area on Sunday and Monday as highs approach 110 degrees.
So, we'll be in ABC15 Weather Action mode as a reminder to take action to stay safe by limiting your time outside and staying hydrated when the heat builds in.
Cars heat up fast, too! So, don't leave your kids or pets unattended in your vehicle.
