PHOENIX — High pressure is moving in, sending temperatures soaring statewide.

Here in the Valley, daytime highs will move into the 90s starting Today and staying in the 90s through early next week.

Normal for this time of year is 77 degrees.

By Friday, Phoenix will be more than 15 degrees above normal with new daily heat records possible heading into the weekend.

There's a chance we could see our first triple digits of the year by next Tuesday, marking the earliest 100-degree day ever recorded in Phoenix history.

Right now, the record earliest triple digit day is March 26, 1988.

That is the only time Phoenix has ever hit 100 in the month of March so far, but next week it's looking like we could hit 100 or hotter multiple times.

2026 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall to date: 0.31" (-1.79" from average)
