Northern Arizona weather

The National Weather Service says the months of June and July were some of the hottest on record for much of northern Arizona.

Portions of northern Arizona are under an excessive heat warning Thursday and Friday as hot temperatures scorch the Southwest.

Parts of Arizona are expected to bake this week as the season's first heat wave arrives.

The National Weather Service warns this year's monsoon season will likely be dry and hot again with multiple northern Arizona cities already projected to see below-normal precipitation.

The National Weather Service in Flagstaff warns that drivers should expect hazardous travel conditions due to slick, snow-covered roads and low visibility. Road closures and delays are likely, especially on Thursday morning.
