The Brief
The high in Phoenix on Saturday, July 26, was 107.
Sunday is expected to be no different with hot temps across Arizona.
We'll likely see some monsoon activity this coming week.
Temperatures on Saturday were near to slightly above average, with a warming trend as we wrap up the weekend leading into early next week.
Saturday
Phoenix hit a high of 107 degrees on Saturday, which is one degree shy of our 106 average. On Saturday night, we'll see an overnight low of around 82 degrees.
Sunday
Temperatures will continue to warm under a strong ridge of high pressure which could bring temperatures over 110 degrees by Monday.
The warming temperatures will result in a widespread moderate heat risk. The hot and dry conditions will also be a concern due to active wildfires in the state.
Overnight lows will also feel warmer with temperature readings in the mid to upper 80s.
It will be dry for the rest of the weekend with chances of rain still in place for the Valley late next week.
Storm Chances
Most of the shower activity looks to be centered toward northern and eastern Arizona, including the High Country.
After the bump in temperatures early next week, the rest of the week, leading to the possibility of rain, will be near to slightly above average by a few degrees.
