PHOENIX — Temperatures are back on the rise across Arizona!

Highs in the Valley will climb into the upper 80s on Tuesday before the 90s return for the rest of the week.

We are tracking a weak storm system, though, that could bring a few light showers to parts of our state on Tuesday.

Here in the Valley, we aren't expecting much but we may see a few sprinkles and gusty winds in the late afternoon and evening, especially in places like Anthem, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, east Mesa and Apache Junction.

Another weak storm system will push through on Friday, bringing more rain chances to areas along and north of I-40 in northern Arizona.

Then, a third storm system will move in over the weekend. This one will increase winds and bring a major cool-down our way.

Breezy to windy conditions on Saturday and Sunday will heighten wildfire danger across our state, but the cooler air moving in with those winds will drop temperatures 10 to 20 degrees!

Valley highs will drop into the upper 70s by Sunday and we could even see a few isolated showers that day.

The forecast looks to dry out again early next week with Valley temperatures back in the 80s by Tuesday.
