High pressure is building over the region this week, pushing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Highs climb into the upper 80s today, reach the 90s by Tuesday, and could hit 100° by the end of the week.

In the Valley, spotty showers are possible again this afternoon. While any rainfall will be light, generally just a few hundredths of an inch, some neighborhoods may pick up measurable rain. Rain chances continue on Saturday, with the potential for isolated showers in the afternoon as the next storm system moves in.
