MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Hot and breezy start to the week across Arizona

PHOENIX — After a record start to March with highs in the 90s, temperatures will cool off a bit for the rest of the week.

Valley highs will fall into the 80s Tuesday and Wednesday before dropping even more as our next storm system moves in by the end of the week.

Winds will pick back up on Thursday and we could even see chances for rain and snow across northern Arizona as that next storm arrives.

Right now, our Valley forecast looks dry but wind gusts could top 25 mph and temperatures will drop into the 70s on Thursday and Friday.

That storm system will backtrack and hover off the coast of Baja California through the weekend, pumping moisture up into parts of Arizona.

By Sunday and Monday, we might even see a few spotty showers in the Valley. We'll keep you posted as we get closer.
