PHOENIX — Clouds are passing through, but our forecast will stay dry over the weekend.

Afternoon temperatures will be a few degrees above normal as highs reach the low 70s Saturday and Sunday.

Our mornings will stay cool, though. Expect overnight lows into the 40s across the Valley for the next several nights.

Winds will pick up a bit in the Valley and across the rest of central and southern Arizona on Saturday.

Peak wind gusts will top out near 25 mph in the Phoenix metro area around mid-day, before backing off again Saturday night.

Winds will stay light on Sunday and all of next week.

We'll continue to see more passing clouds day by day as we keep highs in the low 70s.
