Arizona weather forecast: Triple-digit days are here to stay
PHOENIX - Just in time for Memorial Day, it appears our pattern will shift into full summer mode.
A ridge of high pressure will begin to develop over the next several days, which is typically an indicator of the beginning of our summer weather in Arizona.
As the ridge develops, dry and clear conditions will develop across the state with temperatures quickly climbing. In Phoenix, morning services and remembrances will begin in the 70s for Memorial Day.
However, the high temperature will jump into the triple digits around the Valley with a forecast of 103° at Sky Harbor Airport.
By Tuesday, the forecast will rise to 105° in Phoenix with another round of sunny conditions. In fact, the entire week is forecast to be dry and sunny with generally light winds.
Highs between 103° and 105° are forecast from Wednesday through the weekend.
As of now, it appears the ridge will continue to build and weaken in waves over the Southwest, bringing continued 100+ degree weather to the Valley into the following week, too.
This warmth will likely bring a final erosion of the remaining snowpack across our highest elevations, as Arizona Snowbowl closes on June 1.
