Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — We're heating up again in the Valley of the Sun!

Daytime highs will be inching toward the upper 90s on Thursday and Friday.

Our forecast will stay sunny and dry to end the week, but we're tracking big changes this weekend!

As low pressure approaches, temperatures will drop and rain chances will return Saturday and Sunday.

We could even see a few thunderstorms in the mix this weekend, too.

Stay tuned for more updates on more specific timing as we get closer.

Temperatures will plummet across Arizona as this next storm system moves through.

Here in the Valley, that will mean highs back in the upper 80s on Saturday and low 80s on Sunday.

Overnight lows will drop, too. Temperatures across the Valley will fall into the 60s by Sunday morning and stay there each morning next week.

Rain chances will clear by out Tuesday, but we'll keep Valley highs in the 80s through at least the middle of next week.
