PHOENIX — We're headed into a hot holiday weekend in the Valley, but we're also still tracking a slight chance of a few monsoon storms.
It won't be much, but we could see a few isolated showers or storms Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
We aren't expecting anything severe in the Phoenix metro area, but watch out for gusty winds at times and lightning with any storms that develop.
Stronger storms will be possible over the higher terrain across northern, eastern and southeastern over the next few days.
As high pressure builds in heading into the holiday weekend, temperatures will get hotter across Arizona.
Here in the Valley, we'll be flirting with 110 degrees again throughout much of the next week with our forecast high on Labor Day now at 110 degrees in Phoenix.
Phoenix has already had 53 days so far this year at 110 degrees or hotter. The all-time record is 55 days set just last year, and there is an increasing chance that we may break that record before temperatures cool-down in mid to late September.
There is also no end in sight to this record-setting stretch of triple-digit days. As of Wednesday, we've had 94 triple-digit days in a row. The previous record was 76 consecutive triple-digit days set in August of 1993.
