YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) - Today, marks the warmest day of the year! Yuma's high temperature at 97 degrees just 3 degrees shy of hitting our 100-degree record set back in 1960.

Very warm temperatures will continue through Wednesday and records may be tied or broken.

While the season's first triple digits are possible, the chances today and tomorrow are around 6-30 percent across the area.

Slightly cooler temperatures are expected Thursday with more cooling Friday.

With the warmer temperatures, we do have a moderate heat risk across the area, so make sure to hydrate and stay cool.

Breezy conditions rejoins Tuesday evening with stronger winds anticipated Wednesday, lingering into Thursday across eastern Arizona.
