PHOENIX — Temperatures are dropping across Arizona!

After hitting 107 degrees to start the week, Phoenix dropped to 101 on Tuesday and will fall into the mid 90s on Wednesday.

Breezes will pick again Wednesday afternoon. Expect peak gusts in the Valley near 25 mph.

Winds will die down Thursday and Friday as our break from the triple digits continues.

We'll heat up again this weekend with Valley highs back in the low 100s on Saturday.

Then, another storm system will be approaching from the west with more breezes and cooler air for us as we head into next week.

We also continue to track a Flood Warning that remains in effect for parts of the Gila River in southwestern Arizona as the flow increases due to water releases from the Painted Rock Dam. This warning remains in effect through June 13th. Do not attempt to cross any flooded roadways.
