ABC-7 First Alert: Hottest temperatures of the season, record heat potential through Thursday

The ABC-7 First Alert continues, and so do the hot temperatures. The conditions will continue with afternoon high temperatures of 100 to 110 degrees. It is never safe to leave your furry friend or kids in the car in the heat — even in the shade or with windows cracked.

When you go out for a walk, the pavement can get too hot for your pets' paws — potentially even burning them. Opt for soft grass, ensuring your dog has plenty of water.

Rain chances don't look great for us this week; the best opportunity for scattered showers will be around the area mountains.
