The unseasonably warm winter in metro Phoenix will continue this week, with high pressure maintaining temperatures in the low 80s through Tuesday.
As a result, the National Weather Service in Phoenix has warned of a minor heat risk for those wanting to go outside.
Katherine Berislavich is a meteorologist with the agency.
“So this week we're going to see mostly dry conditions through most of the week and then we'll also see kind of gradually cooling temperatures as well," she said.
Berislavich suggests those wanting to spend time outdoors put on sunscreen and stay hydrated.
