PHOENIX — High pressure is building in, bringing sunny skies and warmer temperatures in the days ahead!
This afternoon, Valley highs will hold in the mid 70s before a sharp warming trend takes over for the rest of the week.
Spring officially arrives with the Spring Equinox on Thursday at 2:01 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. The season kicks off with mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs reaching the low 80s.
With no rain in sight and an even stronger high-pressure system settling in this weekend, temperatures will climb well above normal.
By Monday, highs could soar back into the 90s, flirting with record territory.
In fact, Phoenix has a slim chance of hitting 100 degrees next week, far ahead of the city's average first triple-digit day, which typically arrives in early May!
Stay tuned for updates.
