FIRST ALERT ACTION DAY: Tracking extreme heat through tonight with some relief this weekend

A Weather Authority First Alert Action Day is in effect until 8 pm TONIGHT. I am tracking some humidity and a little bit of relief for the weekend. Temperatures will also cool down leading to some cooler conditions next week.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect for the majority of Desert Southwest until 8 p.m. TONIGHT for both Yuma and Imperial Counties.

NEVER FORGET! Today marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We honor and remember all the lives lost, survivors, and first responders. If you are doing anything special for 9/11 this evening, it will be warm, breezy, and humid.

Breezier conditions will be taking over this evening as winds will be coming from the south with gusts between 20-25 MPH. It will be a breezy even into the weekend and early next week.

For the weekend, tracking clear skies and lots of sunshine. Shower and storm chances are possible, but looking to favor further east. Right now, chance for any rain isn't looking likely, but if anything does develop it will be isolated.

We are in for somewhat drier conditions this week. It will still feel sticky in the morning and night hours, but afternoons it will be a little more pleasant for some. Imperial County will have much more comfortable conditions as dew points will stay a little higher in Yuma County.

Finally tracking cooling temperatures! This weekend we will have seasonal temperatures, but come next week we are in for even cooler conditions. Tracking highs to drop into the low 100s and overnight lows into the low 80s and upper 70s come next week.
