So close, but couldn't quite get there. Maybe tomorrow...
-
From the NWS. Are they expecting that line to hold through the night?

More FM radio goodness this morning...lol

Yikes...that's too much even for a heat mizer...lol

So the official Phoenix high at Sky Harbor was 118 which officially broke the consecutive days of 110+ record. Here in my backyard in Sun City, we were one degree cooler at 117...
-
Desert nooners out west... 112 degrees.
-
Most are talking about the consecutive 110+ record, which we tied today at 18. A lesser known and publicized one is consecutive 90+ lows, which we broke this morning, and are progged to add at least 10 more days to.

Low 80s is perfection, although I don't mind even the 110s out here. The usual lack of humidity helps. Right now, I'm waiting outside for my delivery store to open their door and even at 108, with the dry air and the breeze, it's not that bad.
-
My favorite temperature would be 82, but anything over 70 suits me fine.
-
This might thwart our efforts to get to 120 and possibly break the all time record high. High clouds and upper level moisture have literally popped up out of nowhere over the metro area. A half hour ago there were virtually no clouds.

101 at 8:15am... I'm posting this for you guys due to the historical nature of the event, and because I'm the only Arizona poster on the entire site, so if I posted in the western forum I'd be talking to myself. I hope you all don't mind.
-
We are currently running 2 to 4 degrees higher than yesterday at the same time out here on the sun. If that trend continues throughout the day we will go to 120 to 124 for the high today. We shall see...
-
1.04" overnight in Tamaqua.
-
Take your pick. Both stations are equal distance from my house...
-
I found a NWS co-op station about a quarter mile from my house. Looks like 118 might be our high for the day as it's after 3pm.
-
8:30am (early PA nooners) current temperature: 101 degrees. Can we get to 120 today? If we do, it'll only be the fourth day in Phoenix weather history that it would have done so.
-
I've felt 125 degrees before in Bullhead City, but that 135? Insane.
-
This morning's AFD snippet... As we head into the weekend with unprecedented temperatures, highs in the 115-120 degree range and lows in the mid-80s to mid-90s, nearly all lower desert/valley locations will experience Major HeatRisk while most populated areas, including Phoenix, Yuma, and El Centro, will experience Extreme HeatRisk. For many, the high temperatures this weekend will be the hottest ever experienced.
-
One degree LESS than my morning low yesterday...
-
That's a good question. Short term, this past winter filled our local lakes/reservoirs, but if it was just an anomalous winter, then yes, water will be a big problem.
-
It's a big reason why for years the stats said that for every three who move here, two leave. If it weren't for the extremely hot summers, Phoenix and the metro area as a whole would probably rank #3 in population with only New York and LA being bigger. And I have to add that even though I am fully aware of, and like the climate, it's a bit mind blowing to be slammed by mid 90's heat (this morning's official low was 95) walking out the door at 5am.
-
I'm not sure what's more impressive about this forecast. The fact that we're going to absolutely annihilate the consecutive 110 degree record or that we've already had three consecutive mornings with a low of 90 or above creating the chance of going nearly fourteen straight days where the temperature does not drop below 90.

I think my AFD melted the subforum...
