PHOENIX — The storm system moving through the Pacific Northwest continues to head east as another BIG ridge of high pressure is right behind it.
This will continue to pull drier air into Arizona and keep temperatures three to five degrees above normal.
Phoenix will reach a high of 109 degrees Monday, which is four degrees above normal for this time of year.
There is no end in sight to this sizzling stretch of triple digits, though. Phoenix is in the middle of the longest stretch of triple-digit days ever recorded. As of today, we've had 90 triple-digit days in a row. The previous record was 76 consecutive triple-digit days set in August of 1993.
Overnight lows will drop into the mid 80s, providing a bit more relief from the heat each morning.
Most of the monsoon action will be across south eastern Arizona the next few days but there is at least a slight chance of widely scattered storms and showers in northern Arizona by midweek. .
As for the valley, a very slight chance Wednesday afternoon to see an isolated showers or too. Otherwise we will are dry and will just be watching for gusty winds and blowing dust.
