First Alert Weather Alert: Risk of record heat remains this weekend

A First Alert Weather Alert remains in place today as temperatures challenge records across the low desert in the morning and the afternoon. The lack of relief overnight can stress our bodies and lead to an increased potential of heat-related illnesses.

Saturday could be another record-breaking day in the desert. The standing record for the date is 119°, but most valley cities look to top that as moisture clears out this afternoon.

The Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until Wednesday, July 10th, for all of the Coachella Valley. High temperatures will repeatedly push the 120° threshold, contributing to the desert's 'major' and 'extreme' heat risk.

Monday is another day of record potential as highs push towards 120°. Continue to practice heat safety as highs remain in the one-teens through the latter half of next week.
