Heat wave

Herbie, an Aldabra tortoise, stays cool in a mud wallow at the Reid Park Zoo as Tuesday's temperature slowly rises in Tucson, Ariz. An excessive heat warning has been issued for the area. Tuesday June 20, 2017.

The Excessive Heat Warning initially set to end tomorrow has been extended through Sunday, as the heat wave continues.

Record high temperatures are likely again today, but there's another chance for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly to areas east and south of Tucson.
