PHOENIX — It will be hot and muggy around the state as temperatures heat up and we keep rain chances in the forecast for the High Country!

Here in the Valley, we'll see passing clouds and maybe a few sprinkles, but chances for measurable rain are near zero.

As high pressure moves over Arizona, our forecast is looking much hotter this week.

An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect for the entire Phoenix metro area, and across southwestern Arizona, from 10 a.m. Tuesday until 8 p.m. Thursday.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be ABC15 Weather Action Days as a reminder to take action to keep you, your loved ones and your pets safe in these dangerously hot temperatures.

Valley temperatures will flirt with 110 degrees and overnight lows will only drop into the mid to upper 80s.

This combination of warm overnights and sizzling hot afternoons will increase the risk for heat-related illnesses. Make sure to limit your time outside in the heat of the day, stay hydrated and never leave kids or pets inside your vehicles.

Monsoon moisture will return to the Valley late in the week, bringing storm chances back to our forecast by Thursday.

Temperatures will start to drop at that point, too. Valley highs could fall into the low 100s by early next week.
