MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Big warm-up across Arizona heading into the weekend

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and warming us up as we head into the weekend.

Valley highs will be back in the low 80s Friday and Saturday before climbing into the mid 80s on Sunday.

Clouds will move in over the weekend, but our forecast will stay dry until early next week.

At that point, we're tracking two storm systems that will bring more gusty winds, rain and snow chances to our state.

Here in the Valley, we'll see a slight chance of isolated showers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Temperatures will drop, too. After hitting the mid 80s on Sunday, Phoenix will fall into the low 70s by Wednesday with early morning lows back in the 40s.
