PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and sending temperatures soaring across the Valley!We will continue to heat up through Mother's Day weekend with highs peaking near 105 degrees by Sunday. On average, our first 105-degree day of the year tends to happen in late March, so this is a bit sooner than normal. Air quality has been getting worse, too. Ozone High Pollution Advisories continue in the Valley Saturday and Sunday.

PHOENIX — It's a warm start to the weekend in the Valley!Phoenix will climb into the mid 90s again Saturday afternoon, putting us just a few degrees above normal for this time of year. A weak storm system moving through could bring a few isolated showers and thunderstorms to the high country and across northern Arizona, but our Saturday forecast in the Valley looks dry. Then, a stronger storm system will move in on Sunday, bringing gusty winds, rain and snow chances, and a big dose of cool air.

PHOENIX — A storm system moving in from the northwest will crank up our winds over the weekend, leading to increased fire danger across our state. Wind Advisories are in effect along the Mogllon Rim and across northeastern Arizona on Saturday. Winds will be coming out of the south and southwest at 20 to 30 mph with gusts approaching 50 mph at times. Conditions will be very dry with humidity levels in the single digits, which will lead to high fire danger as those winds pick up.

PHOENIX — Phoenix hit the triple digits for the first time this year!This ties the record for the fourth earliest 100-degree of the year. It also ties the daily heat record of 100 degrees set in 2018. On average, Phoenix sees its first 100-degree day in early May, so this early-season heat comes with a minor to moderate risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, especially for children, seniors and outdoor workers.

PHOENIX — We're warming up in the Valley this weekend!Phoenix will hit the low 70s on Saturday and Sunday, which is right near normal for this time of the year. Winds will stay light here in the Valley, but they'll pick up across much of the rest of the state this weekend. As conditions stay dry, those high winds will really increase fire danger. Red Flag Warnings (also known as Fire Weather Warnings) have been issued for the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
