Dangerously hot temperatures are expected this weekend and into early next week, and may persist with very little improvement into late next week.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said an Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect from 11:00 a.m. Saturday to 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Forecasters said the hottest temperatures in west side valleys are expected to range between 105 and 115 on Sunday. Overnight lows could be as high as 75 degrees.

An Urgent Weather Message said extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities. The high daytime temperatures combined with warm overnight lows will result in high heat risk and heat related stress. Some daily high temperature records will be broken. High temperature records for June are likely to be set and there is a change to set all-time highs for any date.
