Heat Wave, Friday Freebie and Tennis Take Center Stage in Scottsdale

It’s a busy and unusually warm week across Scottsdale, with weather alerts, spring sports and a popular restaurant promotion all making headlines.

Early Triple-Digit Heat Incoming

A significant warm-up is headed for the Valley, with forecasters warning that temperatures could reach 100 degrees early next week. If that happens, it would mark one of the earliest triple-digit days on record for the Phoenix area.

Health professionals are urging residents — especially seniors, hikers and Spring Training visitors — to stay hydrated and limit prolonged outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours. With many seasonal events underway, city leaders are reminding the public to plan ahead and take the heat seriously.

Friday the 13th Brings a One-Hour BOGO Deal

On a lighter note, tattooed food fans can score a buy-one-get-one deal at participating Chipotle locations on Friday, March 13, from 3 to 4 p.m. The one-hour promotion is part of a nationwide Friday the 13th event and applies to guests sporting permanent, temporary or even drawn-on tattoos.

With several locations in and around Scottsdale, expect a lively afternoon crowd as diners take advantage of the limited-time offer.

Arizona Tennis Classic Underway

Meanwhile, pro tennis is serving up excitement in the Valley. The Arizona Tennis Classic runs March 9 through March 15, drawing top players and fans for a full week of matches.

While hosted in Phoenix, the tournament draws strong attendance from Scottsdale residents and visitors, adding to an already packed Spring Training and event calendar across the region.
