FIRST ALERT ACTION DAY: High heat and humidity continues through Friday
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) - A strong ridge of high pressure will continue in the region resulting in above-normal and excessive heat.
A monsoonal flow will continue to steer moisture into the Desert Southwest, this will keep us humid with possible storm chances through the work week.
