PHOENIX — As a storm system moves through our state, thunderstorms will continue impacting parts of Arizona. We'll have to watch out for lightning-sparked wildfires and gusty winds as these storms move through.
Temperatures will drop slightly as this storm moves in, putting Valley highs in the mid to upper 90s through Thursday.
We could see more showers and thunderstorms develop in the higher terrain again on Thursday and some forecast models have a few storms right on the fringes of the Phoenix metro area as well.
Then, we will dry out and heat back up as another ridge of high pressure builds in.
Valley temperatures will be in the triple digits through the weekend.
Another storm system is set to impact the state next week, dropping temperatures several degrees and bringing back breezy conditions as well.
