PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and sending temperatures soaring.
Here in the Valley, temperatures will top out near 100 degrees on Friday and between 103 and 106 for the weekend.
Breezes will pick up over Mother’s Day weekend with Valley gusts near 25 mph.
By Monday, we could see our hottest day of the year so far with a high of 108 degrees in Phoenix.
On average, it doesn’t get that hot in Phoenix until the end of May. But this year we’ve already hit 105 degrees three times in March, marking the earliest on record.
As temperatures climb, so will our heat risk. Heat Risk is the level of danger for developing heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, based on how hot it is and how your body handles the heat. We will be under a moderate heat risk through the weekend and climb to the major risk on Monday.
Stay safe by drinking plenty of water, taking breaks in the shade or AC, and avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.
Temperatures will gradually drop next week, but the triple digits are here to stay through at least next Friday.
