High pressure could bring record-setting temps to parts of Arizona

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A nice and cool start to our morning with lows in the upper 40s to the lower 50s with mostly clear skies.

We have a very strong ridge of high pressure that will heat things up once again.

Our average high this time of year is 66 degrees; we will be about 13 degrees above that with a high of 79 this afternoon.

The warm weather will stick around again on Sunday with a few passing clouds.

The Maricopa County Air Quality Department has declared a No-Burn Day for Saturday and Sunday due to high smoke levels.

A few areas will hit 80 degrees, which would be a new record high for tomorrow.

Up in the high country and all around the state, we will see above-average temperatures that will last into the middle of next week.

As we get closer to the big holiday next week, we are starting to see signs of a chance of rain and mountain snowfall.

We will keep you updated as we get closer.
