PHOENIX — The heat is on this week!
As high pressure builds in, temperatures could hit 110 degrees in Phoenix for this first time this month.
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for the Valley Tuesday and Wednesday, so those will be ABC15 Weather Action Days.
Take action to keep yourself 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.
Air quality will also be a concern this week.
An Ozone High Pollution Advisory is in effect through Wednesday and an Ozone High Pollution Watch is in effect for Wednesday. Limit your time outside if you have asthma or COPD, or you may have difficulty breathing.
While we may see a few spotty storms in the higher terrain, 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.
