PHOENIX — Storm chances are back in the Valley!

As low pressure approaches, the Valley could see scattered showers and thunderstorms overnight and throughout the day Tuesday.

There is also a marginal risk for severe weather that could bring damaging winds or small hail.

Storms chances will linger into Wednesday too, then we'll dry out the rest of the week.

Daytime highs will drop into the upper 90s to low 100s for the next few days with overnight lows in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Temperatures will warm up again over the weekend with Valley highs near 105 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.

Thankfully, though, it looks like we may be done with 110-degree days this year.

Sunday marked the 55th day this year with highs at 110 degrees or hotter, breaking the old record of 53 days set in 2020.

Phoenix has also had 35 days this year with lows in the 90s. The previous record was 28 days set in 2020. This past Sunday marked the latest day in any year with a low in the 90s. Previously the record was September 7, 2019.

Phoenix has reached a high of 115 degrees or hotter 22 days this year. That is also a new all-time record, topping the previous record of 14 days set in 2020.
