A high-pressure system settling over the West could make for highs in the 80s, 90s and possibly even temperatures that break 100 degrees in the Southwest .

Parts of Southern California and Arizona will get into the high 90s on Tuesday , while areas of Nevada , eastern Washington state and Idaho will see 70s .

Phoenix is forecast to hit 97 degrees Tuesday , and there's even a chance it could hit 100 degrees , which would make it the earliest date in the year the city has ever reached 100 degrees .
