The Phoenix area is set to experience a heatwave with record-breaking temperatures, with highs reaching 106°F on Sunday. The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Watch for Sunday from 10 a.m. to Monday at 8 p.m. to alert residents of the elevated risk for heat-related illness.
We are warming up through the weekend! A ridge of high pressure begins to build over the southwest the next week. As it builds, the temperature pushes well above average and closer to record level.
On Friday, the forecast high will reach 102 degrees. This comes after hitting a high of 97 on Thursday. It will remain dry with some breezy conditions expected in the Valley, and around the rest of the state. Winds will be a touch breezy through Friday and Saturday before weakening on Sunday.
The numbers continue to grow this weekend. The forecast high hits 104 on Saturday and 106 on Sunday. Mother's Day will start in the low 80s during the early morning, but climb to the triple digits for any afternoon plans.
As a result, an Extreme Heat Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for Sunday from 10 a.m. to Monday at 8 p.m. Temperatures will rise enough to elevate the risk for heat-related illness if people don't plan for the warmth properly. The heat remains next week. The forecast high will continue above 100 through the next work week. Overnight low temperatures will also start to jump, with lows in the mid to upper 70s by next week.
