PHOENIX \u2014 Saturday was a record-breaking warm day at 114 degrees. More records are at risk this coming week as high pressure sends temperatures soaring across Arizona!<\/p>\n
The Extreme Heat Warning<\/b> has now been extended to last now until 8 p.m. Friday for the Valley. Warnings are also in place for much of South Central Arizona through Tuesday and likely will be extended.<\/p>\n
Whenever these heat alerts are in effect, those days will be ABC15 Weather Action Days\u00a0<\/b>as a reminder to take action to stay safe in these dangerously hot temperatures.<\/p>\n
Phoenix could break more records next week as temperatures soar above 115 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
Starting Wednesday, we will max out our heat risk scale to extreme, meaning everyone is at risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. <\/p>\n
Make sure to drink plenty of water, try to limit your time outside between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., and keep your pets inside, too.<\/p>\n
If you must work outdoors, stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shade or inside to cool off.<\/p>\n
Additionally, be cautious with any objects that you touch that have been outside as they can quickly cause burns to your skin.<\/p>\n
Up north, an Extreme Heat Warning<\/b> is in effect for parts of the Grand Canyon below 4,000 feet in elevation until 7 p.m. Tuesday. Temperatures down in the canyon could reach a dangerously hot 103 to 113 degrees.<\/p>\n
Monsoon moisture will continue to bring low chances for showers and thunderstorms to eastern Arizona, but our Valley forecast will stay dry.<\/p>\n
There is a slight chance monsoon moisture will inch closer to the Valley toward the end of next week. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer.<\/p>\n
