Phoenix hit 106 degrees Tuesday as cities across Arizona neared or surpassed record highs, FOX 10 meteorologist Erica Horvatin reported in the station's evening forecast. Red Flag Warnings and additional triple-digit temperatures are in the near-term outlook for the region.
The Tuesday reading follows a Monday high of 108 in the Valley, according to FOX 10's prior evening forecast. Sunday's high also reached 106, accompanied by high pollution advisories for southwest Arizona, per FOX 10's May 10 report.
The National Weather Service shows Scottsdale and Paradise Valley clearing in the evening with lows between 68 and 76 degrees. Red Flag conditions, driven by low humidity and elevated winds, raise wildfire risk across the state when warnings are in effect.
