MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Big warm-up coming to Arizona heading into Mother's Day weekend

A storm system is moving in and bringing wind, rain and cooler air to Arizona. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are still impacting areas along the Mogollon Rim and across northeastern Arizona this afternoon. Here in the Valley, we'll likely stay dry as we head into the evening but breezes are picking back up.

PHOENIX — Cooler air is settling in behind our latest storm, but don't get used to it!

We have one more day below normal, then high pressure will take over and send temperatures soaring.

Here in the Valley, temperatures will top out in the mid 80s on Wednesday before climbing to 100 degrees by Friday.

Breezes will pick up over Mother's Day weekend as temperatures continue to sizzle.

By Monday, we could see our hottest day of the year so far with a high of 107 degrees in Phoenix.

On average, it doesn't get that hot in Phoenix until the end of May. But, this year we've already hit 105 degrees three times in March, marking the earliest on record.
