Oh boy...!

Temperatures will reach triple digits over part of the interior Southwest into this weekend, and dry air paired with the heat will rise the risk of #wildfires.

Excerpt:
"Temperatures will run 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages at the peak, with records challenged. Factoring in April sunshine, which is equivalent to sunshine in August, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures can spike to 10 degrees or more above the actual temperature during the day.
"'Phoenix is likely to experience its first 100 F or higher reading of the year on Thursday,' Zehr said, 'Friday and Saturday may also top 100.'
"The average date for the first 100 is May 2 at Phoenix. The earliest date was March 26, 1988."
