MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Warm start to spring training in the Valley!

It's a warm week in the Valley as temperatures run several degrees above normal for the start of Spring Training. If you're heading out to a game, stay hydrated and slather on the sunscreen. The UV index will be peaking as first pitches go out, only giving us 30 to 45 minutes outside before the sunburn sets in. High pressure is keeping our forecast mostly sunny and dry through the weekend as temperatures soar even higher.

PHOENIX — It's a warm week in the Valley as temperatures run several degrees above normal for the start of Cactus League Spring Training.

If you're heading out to a game, stay hydrated and slather on the sunscreen. The UV index will be peaking as first pitches go out, only giving us 30 to 45 minutes outside before the sunburn sets in.

High pressure is keeping our forecast mostly sunny and dry through the weekend as temperatures soar even higher.

Phoenix will approach the mid 80s by Monday, upper 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then potentially hit the 90s for the first time this year by Thursday.

On average, Phoenix sees its first 90-degree day around March 30, so this would be nearly a month sooner than normal.

The earliest 90-degree day ever in Phoenix was February 17, 2016.
