An Extreme Heat Warning has been issued for the Phoenix metro area and southwestern Arizona, effective from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 8 p.m. Thursday (Source time: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:58:45 GMT).

The National Weather Service has declared Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as ABC15 Weather Action Days to emphasize the need for safety during this heatwave.
