PHOENIX — A ridge of high pressure over the Desert Southwest will keep us warm and dry for the start of the week
For Presidents Day Phoenix will warm into the low 80s and we stay with those temperatures for Tuesday too.
That will put us nearly 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Overnight lows will stay cool, falling into the upper 40s to low 50s across the Valley.
Winds will be breezy to gusty through midweek with gusts between 15-20 mph around the Valley.
By midweek we're tracking another storm system that could bring more rain and snow to our state. Right now, the best chance appears to be Wednesday night.
Cooler air with this storm will also drop temperatures several degrees, putting Valley highs in the mid-70s Wednesday and Thursday.
