Phoenix is expected to reach 115 degrees Friday and 116 degrees Saturday as temperatures run 5 to 10 degrees above average. 
An extreme heat warning remains in effect through Monday, prompting closures of popular Phoenix hiking trails from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
High humidity will push “feels like” temperatures even higher than the forecast highs. 
Mountain thunderstorms may develop, while the Valley has a roughly 30% chance of storms Monday as outflow boundaries move in. 
Cloud cover and storm chances could bring Monday’s high down to 106 degrees, though heat index values may still reach 111 to 113 degrees.
