Temperatures will stay a few degrees below normal with highs near 100 degrees in the Valley on Friday.

Flash flooding still remains a real threat across northern Arizona. A Flood Watch is in effect through Friday evening for parts of Mohave and Coconino counties, including Page and the Grand Canyon.

Afternoon and evening thunderstorms will bring the potential for heavy rainfall, especially over the Dragon Bravo Fire scar.

If you do head out, check in with a nearby visitor center or ranger station first, and have a way to receive alerts in case conditions change quickly.

As our forecast dries back out over the weekend, temperatures will start to soar.

An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect Monday through Wednesday across the Valley as temperatures approach 112 degrees.

So, those three days will be ABC15 Weather Action Days as a reminder to take action to protect yourself, you family and your pets from these dangerously hot temperatures.

Make sure to stay hydrated and limit your time outside from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. when temperatures are at their hottest. Bring your pets inside during these times, too.

If you need to be outside, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and take frequent breaks in shade or air conditioning to cool down.
