PHOENIX — Temperatures maybe a few degrees cooler over the next few days but it is still going to be dangerously hot in Arizona.

Extreme Heat Warnings are in effect across the Valley until 8 p.m. this evening, so we are in ABC15 Weather Action mode as a reminder to take action to stay safe in these dangerously hot temperatures.

Limit your time outside between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., stay hydrated with water and electrolyte drinks, keep your pets inside, and check in on friends and family to make sure they have enough cooling.

Also, remember to never leave children or pets in your vehicle.

The "heat risk" will be in the moderate to major categories across central and southern Arizona through the weekend.
That means your chance of a heat-related illness is high without proper hydration or access to cooling.

Temperatures are expected to ease slightly by the weekend, but will likely stay near 110 degrees through early next week.

Our Valley forecast will stay dry over the next several days, but there is still a slight chance of daily monsoon storms along the Mogollon Rim and in other parts of the Arizona high country.

Monsoon moisture will flow back into the Valley toward the middle of next week, bringing slight chances for spotty storms back to the forecast starting Tuesday.
