PHOENIX — It's another hot week in the Valley of the Sun!

We will catch a break from the 110s over the next couple of days, though.

Highs in Phoenix will hit 105 degrees on Tuesday and 108 on Wednesday as our forecast stays sunny and dry.

High pressure will build in by Thursday sending temperatures soaring into record territory again.

The forecast for Phoenix is 114 degrees on Thursday and the record is 115 degrees set in 2021.

The monsoon season officially begins on Wednesday, June 15th.

By Friday, high pressure will be right where we need it to be to pull in monsoon moisture from the south.

Storm chances will increase across our state and we could see our first round of monsoon action in the Valley by Friday or Saturday.

As that moisture moves in, temperatures will drop.

Look for highs across the Valley near 105 degrees through the weekend, which is near normal for this time of year.
