PHOENIX — Our first 100s of the year are behind us.

Now, temperatures will be dropping for the rest of the week as back-to-back storm systems move through Arizona.

Temperatures across the Phoenix metro area will fall into the low to mid 90s on Wednesday, before dropping into the low to mid 80s for the rest of the week.

Winds will pick up across our state and it will be breezy every afternoon in the Valley through Saturday.

The first storm system moves in on Thursday, bringing a few showers and thunderstorms to the high country. Here in the Valley, there is a slight chance we could see an isolated shower or two early Thursday morning.

The second storm system dives in from the north on Friday, picking up winds even more and increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms across Arizona.

Here in the Valley, we could even see a few isolated showers by Friday evening.

Chances for more showers and thunderstorms will be in the play Saturday afternoon across the higher terrain.

Although we aren't expecting much in the Valley, there is a slight chance one or two storms could move off of the mountains and into the far north or east Valley in the late afternoon or early evening.

This second storm system will clear out by Sunday and high pressure will return.

So, expect another big warm-up next week. Valley temperatures could approach the triple digits again by Tuesday.
