PHOENIX — As our latest disturbance clears out, winds will die down and temperatures will climb back to above-average categories, hovering near 90 degrees by Wednesday afternoon.

Then high pressure builds in and that's bringing a huge warm-up by the end of the week.

Phoenix is likely to see its first 90-degree day of the year by Thursday. On average, our first 90-degree day tends to happen in late March.

We could see Phoenix warm all the way to 95 degrees on Thursday and Friday. On average, the first 95-degree day happens on April 12th so this warmer weather is coming right on time.

The Valley stays in the 90s through Saturday ahead of another storm that will bring more winds from Friday through the weekend and cooler air our way by early next week.
