MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: 80's in December in the Valley

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — After a cool, dry weekend across the state, we're in for a warm-up this week and a BIG one.

An area of high pressure centers itself over our state by the middle of next week, keeping us dry and sending afternoon high temperatures nearly 15 degrees above normal.

We'll peak Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the low 80s.

Overnight lows will warm up a bit, too. Look for low temperatures in the 50s in the Valley starting overnight Tuesday through Friday.

We aren't expecting any more rain in the Valley for at least the next 7 days, but a storm system passing to our north by the end of next week will drop temperatures back down to near normal by the weekend.
