Valley temperatures are soaring this weekend, putting Phoenix 10-15° above normal.
We could even break daily records on Sunday and Monday!

So far, Sky Harbor has picked up 5.89" of rain for September, October and November combined.
That makes Fall 2025 the 3rd wettest on record!
And there are still more rain chances in the forecast this weekend.

Cat 5 Hurricane Melissa will likely be the worst storm Jamaica has ever seen.
From @NHC_Atlantic : "The eyewall’s destructive winds may cause total structural failure...leading to widespread infrastructural damage, prolonged power and communication outages, and isolated communities."
