PHOENIX — Temperatures are sizzling across Arizona.

After the hottest day ever on record for August in Phoenix yesterday, with a high of 118, we will drop several degrees on Friday. Still, our Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through 8 p.m. Friday as temperatures continue to sizzle.

We remain in ABC15 Weather Action mode too as a reminder to take action to protect yourself, your loved ones and your pets.

Be careful around hot surfaces too. Car doors, steering wheels and playground equipment can cause serious burns after just a few seconds in this kind of heat.

There is still a little monsoon moisture hanging over southern and eastern Arizona, which could lead to isolated storms in those areas.

For the Valley, our forecast is looking mostly dry, but there is a slight chance of an isolated storm or two over the weekend as temperatures continue to top 110 degrees.
