PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Wednesday has a strong chance of becoming the eighth consecutive day of record-breaking heat.
Through next Monday, we have either record-breaking or record-tying temperatures in the forecast, so it’s possible that the record-breaking streak could make it to 13 days by Monday.
Highs today are expected to reach around 100 degrees, which would top the current record of 99 degrees set in 2025. That’s well above the normal high of 81 degrees for this time of year.
Mostly sunny skies will continue into Thursday, with highs again near 100. A weak disturbance in the jet stream will bring some breeziness across the higher terrain, where gusts could reach around 25 mph from this afternoon into Thursday.
By Friday, temperatures will climb even higher under mostly sunny skies, with highs near 102 degrees. Over the weekend, a slight shift begins as some clouds and breezes move in on Saturday, bringing temperatures down slightly into the upper 90s, along with gusts up to 25 mph in the Valley.
Periods of cloud cover will linger into Sunday, with highs remaining in the mid to upper 90s. Monday looks similar, with highs in the upper 90s, before a cooldown arrives Tuesday, when temperatures may dip into the upper 80s.
There is a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms across eastern and northern Arizona from Sunday through Tuesday, but the Valley is expected to stay dry.
