KTNV — We'll see another Extreme Heat Warning across the valley today that is set to last through the rest of the week.

We're also following up on the teacher contract negotiations between CCSD and CCEA.

An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect from 8 a.m. today through 11 p.m. Saturday. The heat risk is "major" Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as highs range from 108° to 109°, meaning anyone outside without enough water or access to shade may feel health impacts from the heat.
