Technically meteorological spring ended and summer began on June 1st, but it will really feel like it is over in a couple of days.
Today, we will blissfully enjoy the the cool airmass in the wake of the weak front that came through yesterday afternoon. The forecast high for the airport is a wonderful 77°F.
However, by Thursday, a high amplitude ridge is in full control over the southwest US and we are likely flirting with the low 90s for highs.
If you are keeping score at home, that would be our first 90 of the year. The highest temperature at the airport so far was 87 on May 28th.
And here's the 6–10 day temperature outlook from the Climate Prediction Center.

Not good. Hot weather this time of year just extends the agony of summer heat, which is a virtual lock around here in July.
NWS call for 96/98f highs and Weenie saying low 90's for highs so maybe there is some hope? 92 is bad but once over 95f all hope is lost.
