Default Bow performance variance by temperature

I live in Phoenix. It gets wicked hot here, usually above 100F by 10am in the summer. My bow was spot on for me (here) then I went back east to hunt and it was shooting a little high. My guess is the temp difference. The elevation was within a few hundred feet of each other so I dont think that was a factor. Is this to be expected? Are there limb materials that are more consistent with large temp differences? If I were to pull the bow on a scale when it's hot and then do it when it's cold would I get two different peak weights? I'm shooting a Merlin Lite Storm Solo with the standard limbs.
