During the warning, high temperatures will range from 105-112 degrees with lows in the 70s.

NWS recommends to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks and to avoid exposure from the sun from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Along with the warning extension, NWS announced on Sunday that the low temperature was 80 degrees. If that holds, that would break the previous warmest low of 77 degrees set back in 1996.
