A heat advisory was also in effect for valley areas until at least 8 p.m. Sunday.
Desert highs were between 109 and 113 degrees Sunday, with an east wind expected to pick up to at least 15 mph by the afternoon. The mountains saw partly cloudy conditions and highs reaching the upper 90s, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Partly cloudy conditions were expected Sunday near the foothills and eastern valley areas, with highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s and light winds.

"Temperatures west of the mountains will gradually decrease into next week, but the heat will remain through Thursday in the deserts,'' the NWS said.
