PHOENIX — Clouds have been moving through our state ahead of another weak storm system.
Forecasts all across Arizona will stay dry, but winds will pick up and temperatures will drop as this weak storm system passes through our state on Friday and Saturday.
Valley gusts could hit 20 to 25 mph late Friday afternoon with gusts near 30 mph across parts of the high country.
Valley highs will climb into the mid-90s Friday afternoon, before dropping a couple of degrees on Saturday. These temperatures are nearly 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.
High pressure will return over the weekend, sending highs into the upper 90s on Sunday and Monday.
Triple digits are looking more unlikely now for Monday in most Valley neighborhoods, but it will be close. On average, Phoenix's first 100-degree day happens around May 2nd.
By the middle of next week, another weak storm system will move in. Once again, it's looking dry, but breezes will pick up and temperatures will drop into the upper 80s by the end of next week.
