An excessive heat warning will continue to affect the Valley until Monday. Some chances for storms are expected afterward.
However, outside of the Phoenix area, thunderstorms could affect areas in northern and southeastern Arizona.
“We'll see daily chances for thunderstorms - isolated, scattered. And then also the southeastern portion of the state, including Tucson, we'll see daily chances. Much better chances than in the Phoenix area," said meteorologist Ted Whittock with the National Weather Service.
Whittock suggests people traveling to stormy areas should keep informed with the latest forecast.
