YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Strong high pressure over the region will lead to potential record breaking temperatures region-wide this weekend with afternoon highs reaching 110 to 116 degrees across the lower deserts.

An excessive heat warning remains in effect for south-central Arizona, southwest Arizona, and southeast California today through Monday.

An increase in low level moisture is anticipated on Monday resulting in a return of thunderstorm chances across eastern portions of the region and eventually leading to a slight cooling trend early next week.
