PHOENIX — Get ready for a big warm-up across Arizona!
High pressure is building in and temperatures will soar as we head into the weekend.
In Phoenix, we'll see our first 90-degree day of the year on Friday.
We could even set a new record. The forecast high is 94 degrees and the current record that day is 93 (set back in 1990.)
Saturday will be even warmer as Phoenix approaches 96 degrees, but the record that day is 100.
Thankfully, this stretch of 90s won't last long.
Another storm system is set to move in early next week dropping temperatures, picking up winds and bringing rain and snow chances back to our state.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
