Arizona – Heat rises quickly across Phoenix this morning as the sun climbs into a clear sky, pushing temperatures toward triple digits by the afternoon. Sidewalks warm fast, and by midday, the air already feels closer to early summer than late March.

According to the National Weather Service, highs are expected to reach around 101 degrees today under full sunshine, with light winds offering little relief . Dry air and low humidity will allow temperatures to spike სწრაფly through the afternoon.

Across Maricopa County, including Glendale, Tempe, and Mesa, outdoor conditions may become uncomfortable by early afternoon. Limit prolonged sun exposure, stay hydrated, and avoid peak heat hours if possible. Vehicles heat up quickly, so never leave children or pets inside.

Evening brings only modest cooling, with temperatures staying mild overnight in the upper 60s. That warmth carries into the weekend, though a slight dip arrives Saturday with highs in the mid-90s and a breezy feel developing.

By Sunday and Monday, temperatures hover in the mid to upper 90s once again, keeping the early-season heat locked in. Winds may pick up at times, especially Saturday, but conditions remain dry.

Looking ahead, temperatures ease slightly into the low 90s by midweek, with a small chance of showers returning by Tuesday into Wednesday. Still, above-normal warmth continues to dominate the pattern.
