YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) - Subtropical high pressure will strengthen and move over Arizona today, leading to well-above-normal temperatures through this weekend.

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect Saturday and Sunday due to widespread major heat risk and record-breaking temperatures.

Make sure to practice heat safety all hours of the day to prevent heat-related illnesses.

TRACKING THE TROPICS: Jova continues to weaken with a current track staying miles away from the United States.

This same tropical system will bring extra moisture to the region this weekend, increasing humidity and cloudier skies.

We will continue to gradually warm up throughout the weekend with the hottest days being Saturday and Sunday.

By next week, temperatures will begin to trend downwards, while rain chances increase.
