MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Triple digits back in the Valley this week

PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and keeping temperatures on the rise over the next few days.

Here in the Valley, we will see highs run as high as 6-7 degrees above normal.

For Tuesday, expect a mostly sunny day with morning lows in the mid-70s. By the afternoon, highs will top out around 104 degrees.

The peak of the heat will be during the middle of the week as Phoenix approaches 106 degrees.

As we head into the midweek, a weak area of low pressure slides to our south, bringing a few rain chances to the White Mountains and far eastern Arizona.

Breezes will also pick up starting Thursday, and temperatures will drop just a bit with the passage of this system.

It still looks like we'll hold onto the triple digits for the entire first week of June, but Phoenix will drop closer to the low 100s by Friday and the upcoming weekend as another system sides in.
