An Extreme Heat Warning covers the Phoenix area through Friday evening, with afternoon temperatures expected to reach up to 112 degrees and high humidity pushing the feels-like reading a couple of degrees warmer, according to AZFamily meteorologist April Warnecke.
Tuesday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and an afternoon high of 110 degrees. Morning temperatures are running in the upper 80s to low 90s, slightly cooler than recent days after storm outflows moved through overnight. Those same outflows pushed a wall of dust across the Valley; hazy conditions are lingering into the morning.
Another round of dust is possible Tuesday evening as storms develop over higher elevations in Eastern and Southeastern Arizona. Rain chances in the Valley remain near 10 percent through Saturday. Each day carries a slight chance of a storm, but gusty winds and blowing dust are more likely than rainfall. Chances improve modestly on Sunday and more significantly by the middle of next week.
First Alert Weather Days are in effect through Friday.
