PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and heating things up this weekend.
Valley temperatures will climb into the mid 90s again tomorrow.
Air quality will start to improve on Sunday as breezes pick up. That will prevent ozone from building up as much.
Breezes will continue into early next week as the next storm system we're tracking moves in from the northwest.
That storm could bring a few showers to northern Arizona late Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It will also bring in some slightly cooler air.
Highs will drop into the low 90s by Tuesday before warming back into the mid 90s by Thursday.
Although our Valley forecast will stay dry, Flood Warnings remain in effect for the Salt and Gila rivers through Tuesday (April 25th) due to recent water releases from our reservoirs. Do not attempt to cross any flowing water in any of these areas.
