An Extreme Heat Warning is also in effect until 8 p.m. Monday for the Desert Southwest.

Highs will be between 107-118 degrees and lows in the low between 85-95 degrees. This is why an Extreme Heat Warning is in effect because of the lack of relief from the heat even at night.

It's been a hot afternoon and that heat will carry into the night. Take a look at the next 12-hours as the hot weather will continue into the morning hours.

A ridge of high pressure will be staying in place, keeping us very hot across the region. Dew points will still remain elevated, but storm and shower activity isn’t looking likely for the rest of the week.

Temperatures will continue to heat up and nearing the 120 mark for the weekend. Tracking slightly cooler temperatures and possible rain chances early next week.

With this intense heat, we are in for major and even extreme heat risks. So remember to practice heat safety all hours of the day. Make sure you are taking care of your furry friends and always look before you lock.
