Extreme heat returns to southern Arizona
Posted

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Monsoon will stay a bit quieter over the next several days with only isolated thunderstorms expected.

Most thunderstorms will occur to the east and southeast of Tucson as high pressure builds over the Desert Southwest and brings back dangerously hot temperatures through the end of the week.

Extreme Heat Warnings return to southern Arizona Thursday morning and will remain in effect through Sunday evening with temperatures soaring as high as 112°F in some lower elevations including the Tucson metro area.

As was the case late last week and this past weekend, we’ll have to plan accordingly for any outdoor activities in order to avoid heat related illness!
