Mesa. We hit one hundred degrees today.
Let's talk about getting around. Temperatures this morning are sitting right around seventy-five to seventy-seven degrees.

The bigger story is actually coming this weekend. High winds are expected across Arizona starting Saturday, and that combination of dry air, zero recent rainfall, and strong gusts creates elevated fire danger statewide.
No rain is in the forecast. The dry spell continues, and that only adds to the weekend fire risk picture.
