A scorching start to June

TUCSON - Today's high of 108 in Tucson tied yesterday's high and marks the hottest temperature reported at the airport in more than 300 days.

Each day this month has featured highs above 100 degrees.  There is no relief from the heat on the horizon.

Tucson has never reported a June where all 30 days have been above 100 degrees. The most was 28 days back in 2004.

Despite the monsoon beginning on Saturday, no rain is in sight.

TUCSON - June heat continues to build across Southeast Arizona.

Today's high of 104 won't make the record books but it was a good 5 degrees above average.

The heat will stick around for the next several days, fluctuating anywhere from 103-107.

There is a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm on Friday in the White Mountains but by Saturday the strong ridge pushes much of the moisture back toward the East.
