Southeast Arizona is under an Extreme Heat Warning and a Blowing Dust Advisory.
The Extreme Heat Warning is in effect until 8 PM MST Monday, with temperatures ranging from 101°F to 112°F (38°C to 44°C) across various regions, including Santa Cruz and Cochise counties.

Impact & Risks

The extreme heat poses significant risks, including heat-related illnesses and heat stroke, especially for vulnerable populations. Hazardous driving conditions are expected due to reduced visibility from blowing dust, which may result in accidents. The warm overnight temperatures will exacerbate heat stress, particularly for those without access to air conditioning. Areas below 5000 feet, including Tucson Metro Area and Upper Santa Cruz River Valley, are most affected.
