A Weather Authority First Alert Action Day has been EXTENDED until 8 pm next Friday due to the ongoing heat through the weekend and all of next week. Remember to practice heat safety.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - An Extreme Heat Warning is EXTENDED until 8 p.m. NEXT FRIDAY(8/28) for the Desert Southwest due to dangerously hot conditions. The humidity will also continue through the week.

Highs will be between 106-117 degrees, and overnight lows between 84-93 degrees.

This extreme heat warning is also in effect due to consistent heat for the next several days and no relief even at night.

We have a ridge of high pressure in the Desert Southwest keeping the Desert Southwest hot and bringing in major heat risk through the weekend.

Remember to prevent heat-related illnesses make sure to practice heat safety at all times. Take a look at your safety tips below.

Tracking slightly drier conditions for the weekend, but there are still slight chances for isolated storms being possible this weekend, with higher chances moving back in Sunday-Monday.

I am also EXTENDING our Weather Authority First Alert Action Days through NEXT FRIDAY due to long lasting heat and hotter temperatures in the days ahead. Stay cool and hydrated!

There are chance for showers and storms being possible through Monday.

I am tracking higher heat and drier conditions through next week for the final week of August. I am also watching for record temperatures being possible or close in the days ahead.
