Arizona weather forecast: Hot days expected following Father's Day weekend

Temperatures to approach 115 degrees before monsoon moisture brings storm chances

Phoenix temperatures reached 106 degrees on Father's Day, but strong high pressure will strengthen over the southwest, pushing temperatures to a peak of 115 degrees later this week.

PHOENIX - It was a dry and hot end to the week, with average temperatures on tap for Father’s Day weekend.

Father's Day:

After a week with temperatures above average, the weekend felt right about average, with humidity finally dropping.

Sunday was a seasonably warm day across Arizona, with sunny skies and some occasional breezes. Temperatures reached 106 in Phoenix. Warmer temperatures are expected this coming week, thanks to strengthening high pressure over the southwest.

Looking Ahead:

Monday will start off mild, with a low of 80 degrees in the Valley. This would be a good morning to get outside early on, because low temperatures will be heating up this week as well. Monday afternoon will reach around 109 degrees in Phoenix, under mostly sunny skies. It will be a dry day across Arizona, and winds will be light.

Temperatures will heat over 110 from Tuesday through Saturday, with the warmest days on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Valley will stay dry and mostly sunny all week, but the high country will see monsoon storm chances Tuesday through Friday. The wettest days will likely be Wednesday and Thursday. The winds will be breezy across the state Wednesday through the weekend, leading to increased fire danger.

Weekend Recap:

Saturday was a hot and dry start to the weekend with an elevated fire risk for parts of the state. Red flag warnings remain throughout the evening for parts of Navajo and Apache counties for gusty winds and low humidity. Conditions have been dry and gusty, especially in northeastern Arizona where there is a critical fire danger.
