PHOENIX — High pressure is back and sending temperatures soaring!
Valley highs will climb into the mid to upper 90s by the end of the week, putting temperatures more than 10 degrees above normal.
Expect more clouds on Thursday, but our forecast will stay dry. Those clouds will come ahead of another weak storm system that will pick up winds as it passes through on Friday.
Here in the Valley, it will get breezy with peak wind gusts at 20 to 25 mph Friday afternoon.
Valley temperatures will drop a couple of degrees as we kick off the weekend, too.
Then, high pressure will return and potentially bring our first 100s of year by the start of next week.
On average, Phoenix's first 100-degree day happens around May 2nd.
