PHOENIX — It's going to be a beautiful day in the Valley on Wednesday!
High temperatures are falling into the upper 80s to low 90s, putting us a little closer to normal for this time of year.
High pressure will build back in as we head toward the weekend, bringing another big warm up to Arizona.
In fact, we're now tracking our first triple digits of the year in the Valley on Sunday. On average, we tend to see our first triple-digit day around May 2nd.
We're also headed into record territory on Sunday. The current record is 102 degrees in Phoenix set back in 1943. Right now, the forecast calls for Phoenix to be within a degree of that record.
