Weekend heat

Ernest Soro takes a swig from his drink while he pauses to set down for a nap by his bicycle underneath the shade trees at Reid Park on June 16, 2016, in Tucson, Ariz. High temperatures are expected to eclipse decades-old heat records for Father’s Day weekend.

Get those pets indoors and keep that water bottle handy: Two days of Excessive Heat Warnings are on the forecast. It's not expected to be a long stretch though, as temps will cool back down to seasonable by this weekend.

A few showers and thunderstorms are likely to occur Wednesday and Thursday, but they'll be focused to areas east of Tucson.

High: 105

Low: 76
