PHOENIX — After a sizzling hot weekend with Valley highs coming close to 110 degrees on Sunday, we're going to see a drop in temperatures this week.
Valley highs will top out near normal each day, with highs ranging from 104 to 106 each afternoon through Thursday.
On Tuesday, sunny skies and lighter winds will allow ozone to build in the Valley. An Ozone High Pollution Advisory takes effect tomorrow along with Ozone High Pollution Watches for Wednesday and Thursday.
If you suffer from respiratory issues such as asthma or COPD, you may want to limit your time outside for the next few days.
Valley temperatures will dip slightly by Friday as a disturbance passes to our northwest, but Valley highs will still reach the upper 90s to low 100s.
Then high pressure builds in sending temperatures soaring through the weekend. Phoenix could see its first 110-degree day by Monday.
Monsoon 2023 is officially here, but there's still no rain in sight for the Valley.
