FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Hot temps to remain throughout the area as winds increase

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Very hot and dry conditions will persist over the next few days with an Excessive Heat Warning in effect through Thursday for the lower deserts of south-central Arizona.

A weak area of low pressure will move over the region Thursday into early Friday, leading to increasing cloud cover, breezy conditions, and perhaps a few showers, primarily east of the Colorado River.

Temperatures will continue to run well-above normal through this weekend as high pressure builds in once again.
