Too hot to fly?

American Airlines had to cancel a bunch of flights at Phoenix sirport because of the extreme heat there. According to the report, the Bombardier CRJ aircraft they were using has a maximum operating temperature of 118 degrees. Tuesday's forecast for Phoenix included a high of 120 degrees.

Why wasn't AA operations able to anticipate this?
