PHOENIX — Valentine’s Day weekend was a hot one — and not just for lovers.

Phoenix set a new record high for Feb. 15 with 86 on Saturday, before tying the all-time record high for Feb. 16 on Sunday with 84.

Valerie Meyers with the National Weather Service said the all-time record high for Monday is 87 and Phoenix will be within striking distance.

Douglas, Safford, Sierra Vista, Tucson, Yuma and several other communities set new high temperature records over the weekend.
