MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Hot end to the week! Weekend rain and cooler air

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — Temperatures are soaring in the Valley!

It doesn't look like we'll hit the triple digits, but it will be close as highs reach the upper 90s again on Friday.

Our forecast will stay sunny and dry to end the week, but we're tracking big changes this weekend as our next storm system moves in.

Temperatures will drop and rain chances will return Saturday and Sunday. We could see some thunderstorms in the mix, too.

Right now, it looks a few storms could move into the Valley by Saturday afternoon, but the best chances for more widespread rain will come Saturday night into early Sunday.

Some Valley locations could see over a half an inch of rain and some spots in the high country could pick up more than an inch of rain with this storm.

Temperatures will plummet across Arizona, dropping Valley highs into the upper 70s to low 80s by Sunday.

Overnight lows will drop, too. Temperatures across the Valley will fall into the 60s by Sunday morning and stay there each morning next week.

Rain chances will clear by out Tuesday, but we'll keep Valley highs in the 80s through at least the middle of next week.
