A strong high pressure system will shift back over the Desert Southwest early this week leading to hotter temperatures and overall fairly dry conditions. This system is expected to persist over the region all week, with at most day-to-day high terrain monsoon activity across eastern Arizona. Starting Monday, temperatures will rise to around 5-7°F above average as Major HeatRisk developing across the lower deserts. An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect for the lower deserts of AZ and southeast CA for Monday through Friday.
