PHOENIX — It's a hot start to the week in the Valley!
Phoenix hit 107 degrees Monday afternoon, marking the hottest day of the year so far.
The good news is that we have another dose of cooler air moving in.
Temperatures will drop into the upper 90s across the Valley on Tuesday and stay in the mid to upper 90s for the rest of the week.
As that cooler air moves in, winds are picking up.
Gusts could peak near 30 mph across the Phoenix metro area again on Tuesday afternoon.
Our Valley forecast will stay dry, but there is a slight chance for more spotty showers and thunderstorms in northern Arizona Tuesday afternoon.
We also continue to track a Flood Warning that remains in effect for parts of the Gila River in southwestern Arizona as the flow increases due to water releases from the Painted Rock Dam. This warning remains in effect through June 6. Do not attempt to cross any flooded roadways.
