PHOENIX — The strong ridge of high pressure centered over the west coast is keeping Arizona dry, sunny, and warm through early next week.
This weekend afternoon, highs will remain in the mid to upper 70s, keeping Valley temperatures about 10 degrees above normal.
However, morning lows will still be quite cool, dipping into the upper 40s across the Valley through the weekend.
Temperatures are expected to gradually drop next week, moving into the low to mid 70s. That is an improvement, but still puts us about 5 degrees above normal.
We'll see passing clouds at times, but our forecast will stay dry through the weekend and into early next week.
This strong ridge of high pressure could break down late next week as a cut off low tries to slide in. This could bring a rain/snow chance for Arizona towards the end of the weekend into next weekend.
