FORECAST: triple digits are back

PHOENIX — Warmer and drier air moving into our region this week will push afternoon temperatures 10 degrees above normal this week.

High pressure will build in again sending temperatures back into the triple digits and block any storms from moving in keeping our forecast sunny and dry.

For Monday a high of 104 degrees but by the end of the week we could be back at 110 degrees. Even the high country is warming many cities in northern and eastern arizona will be in the low 80s by midweek.

Our drought has been worsening over the past few months with the hotter and drier monsoon we’ve experienced. There is only about a week left to get rain in the buckets before the monsoon season officially ends on September 30th.

So far, Phoenix has only picked up 0.74 inches of rain this monsoon season. Our 30-year average (which is considered our normal amount of rain) is 2.43 inches. But, it’s important to remember, that is a decrease from the previous 30-year average of 2.71 inches (from 1981-2010) as our Valley climate continues to get hotter and drier.
