PHOENIX — High pressure builds in this weekend as we keep our afternoon sunny, warm and dry.
Valley highs will climb into the upper 70s to low 80s on Sunday and Monday, putting us nearly 15 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Which will put us into record territory for both days.
More clouds will move in over the next several days ahead of the next storm system we're tracking. That storm will drop temperatures and bring rain and snow back to our state toward the middle to end of next week.
It's too soon to tell how much rain we could get, but chances will start in the Valley on Wednesday and ramp up toward the end of next week.
This storm could lead to some holiday travel issues ahead of Christmas, so stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
