PHOENIX — Phoenix Sky Harbor picked up 0.01 inches of rain on Thursday morning, marking our first measurable rainfall in the month of May since 2019.
That weak storm system is now headed east and high pressure is taking its place, so our forecast will dry out and heat up heading into the weekend.
Valley highs will top out near 102 on Friday, 102 on Saturday and 100 on Sunday with early morning lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Breezes will pick up again in the Valley on Saturday and it will stay breezy at times on Sunday and Monday as another weak storm system approaches our state.
Right now, it's looking pretty dry with only a slight chance of isolated showers in the forecast along the Mogollon Rim on Monday.
