PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The National Weather Service has extended the extreme heat warning through Tuesday. While we expect Monday to be the hottest day of this streak, Tuesday’s heat matches the parameters for the warning.
As expected, temperatures around Arizona popped up today as a ridge of high pressure built into the desert southwest from off the coast of California. That ridge will continue to strengthen over the next couple of days and center up over Northwest Arizona by Monday. That’s the day we expect the hottest temperatures of the next seven days.
We could even see some records falling around the state, mainly in the western and northern portions of Arizona. In the Valley, we’ve still got 108 as the forecast for Monday. That’s 2-degrees short of the record for that date.
For Mother’s Day, we’ll start off the day in the 70s, and by around noon, we’ll hit 100 and stay above that for the rest of the afternoon. Our forecast high for Sunday is 106 degrees.
After the expected “hot” day on Monday, temperatures will moderate the rest of next week. However, at this point, we see highs staying in the triple-digit range for the next 7 days. That’s not totally crazy for this time of year.
