PHOENIX — Dry and calm for now in the valley but this week our temperatures will soar above 110 degrees.

An Extreme Heat Warning will begin Monday through Friday for Arizona's lower deserts, which includes Metro Phoenix as temperatures range between 108-112 degrees each day.

An Extreme Heat Watch will begin Monday through Friday for Mohave County as temperatures will range between 108-110 degrees.

So, for all of next week, each day will be ABC15 Weather Action Days as a reminder to take action to protect yourself, you family and your pets from these dangerously hot temperatures.

Make sure to stay hydrated and limit your time outside from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. when temperatures are at their hottest. Bring your pets inside during these times, too.

If you need to be outside, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and take frequent breaks in shade or air conditioning to cool down.

By the end of next week Monsoon moisture returns to our state bringing a slight chance for afternoon and evening showers starting Thursday through Sunday in the Valley.

Better chances for storms across the higher terrain in northern and eastern Arizona with isolated thunderstorms possible starting Tuesday night.
