TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Extreme Heat Warnings continue through Saturday evening as high pressure dominates the weather over southern Arizona.
Record heat will be possible through the end of the week with temperatures running 6 to 10° above seasonal averages.
The same high pressure system that is bringing extreme heat to southern Arizona is also putting a lid on monsoon thunderstorms.
Monsoon will stay quiet until the end of the week when high pressure moves east and will allow more moisture to arrive to produce more thunderstorms going into the weekend.
Until then, play it safe in the heat and stay in the air conditioning as much as possible.
