PHOENIX — The chance of monsoon storms will gradually decrease over the weekend.
There are still opportunities in the higher ground to our north and east, but we don't have high expectations for conditions in the valley over the next few days.
As the storm moves higher, be aware of gusty winds, blowing dust, dangerous lightning, heavy downpours and flooding, especially near wildfire burn scars. Always pay attention to weather conditions and never attempt to drive through flooded swales or roads.
Temperatures will continue to be hot in the valley, with highs around 110 degrees and nightly lows in the 80s to 90s.
As temperatures continue to rise, the risk of heat stroke and heat-related illness remains.
Limit time outside, especially in the afternoon when the day is hottest. Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte drinks, and never leave children or pets alone in the car, no matter how fast the task is.
