PHOENIX — High pressure staying put for another day over the desert southwest, sending temperatures soaring to around 10 degrees above normal through Tuesday.
On average, our last 90-degree day of the year happens around October 30th. The latest we've ever seen a 90-degree day is Nov. 17, 2020.
Near record heat is expected on Monday with a forecast high of 93, the previous record is 94 set in 2007.
The nights and early mornings will still be nice and cool though as overnight lows drop into the 50s to low 60s.
Relief from the 90s will come next week as a storm system tracks to our north. Highs across the Phoenix metro area will drop into the low 80s Tuesday and into the upper 70s Wednesday through Friday.
Breezes will pick up across northern and eastern Arizona starting Sunday, with gusts between 20-25 mph. Monday and Tuesday they will ramp up to between 35 - 50 mph both days.
Here in the Valley winds will generally stay around 10 mph.
