PHOENIX — We're heating up in the Valley as we kick off Mother's Day weekend.
Temperatures will make their way into the mid 90s Saturday and upper 90s on Sunday.
Breezes will pick up over the weekend, too.
Peak wind gusts could hit 25 to 30 mph in the Valley and across the state on Saturday and Sunday.
There is a weak storm system that will linger over Arizona through the weekend, but the impacts will be minimal.
We could see a few spotty showers and thunderstorms along the Mogollon Rim or across northern Arizona through the weekend, but our Valley forecast will stay dry.
High pressure will be building in from the west next week, putting Phoenix back in the triple digits starting Monday.
