PHOENIX — We're heating up in the Valley as we head into Mother's Day weekend.
Temperatures will top out in the low 90s Friday, mid 90s Saturday and upper 90s on Sunday.
Breezes will pick up over the weekend, too.
Peak wind gusts could hit 20 to 25 mph on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
There is a weak storm system that will linger over Arizona through the weekend, but the impacts will be minimal.
We could see a few spotty showers and thunderstorms along the Mogollon Rim or across northern Arizona, but our Valley forecast will stay dry.
High pressure will be building in from the west as we head into next week, putting Phoenix back in the triple digits starting Monday.
