Phoenix, AZ – The heatwave gripping Phoenix shows no signs of relenting, as the National Weather Service extends the Excessive Heat Warning through Monday. Temperatures are expected to reach 108°F this afternoon, posing significant risks to outdoor workers, drivers, and vulnerable populations. If you’re traveling on I-10 or I-17, take extra precautions, including carrying water and avoiding long exposure to the sun.
According to the National Weather Service, tonight’s low will hover around 78°F, offering only mild relief. Saturday’s forecast remains similarly intense, with another high of 106°F expected and little cloud cover to shield the city from the sun’s relentless rays. Residents are encouraged to stay indoors during peak heat hours, particularly from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Temperatures are forecast to remain high through the weekend, with Sunday bringing a high of 107°F. Travelers using I-10 and other major highways should be aware of potential vehicle overheating and heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
For early next week, the trend continues, with Monday’s high again reaching 107°F. With the Excessive Heat Warning active until 8 p.m. Monday, residents and visitors alike must remain vigilant. The forecast suggests a slight break starting Tuesday, with highs dropping to a still-hot 104°F. However, nighttime temperatures will only fall into the upper 70s, providing minimal respite.
