PHOENIX — Our forecast is starting to dry out across Arizona as high pressure builds in.

That will also heat things up in the Valley over the next few days.

Temperatures could top 105 degrees or greater by Wednesday and Thursday, putting us within a few degrees of the daily records.

Heat like this in late September will put our risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke in the moderate to major range, so take it easy if you’re outside. Drink plenty of water and seek shade as much as you can.

Breezes will start to pick up Thursday as our next storm system approaches. That storm will drop temperatures nearly 10 degrees by Friday as breezes continue, and we'll see chances for showers and thunderstorms across Arizona too.

Here in the Valley, storm chances will start Thursday afternoon and evening and continue into the weekend.
