An opportunity for the hottest day of the year for far in Phoenix might take place this weekend. The National Weather Service forecasts potential temperatures in the low 80s. These weather conditions stem from the patterns observed in the Southwest region.

Ryan Worley is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service based in Phoenix.

“So it looks like as long as we make it to 84 degrees and even 83 degrees, if we were to be one degree short of what we’re calling for, it would still be the warmest day of the year so far," he said.

While people may go out for spring training, Worley suggests people take breaks and drink water.

Temperatures for the rest of the work week are forecasted as above normal.
