FORECAST: Storm system set to move into Arizona

A ridge of high pressure over the Desert Southwest is going to keep things hot Sunday, with highs right around 97 degrees. At the same time, a storm moving into the West Coast will tighten the pressure gradient and bring in some breezy conditions by the afternoon.

MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Temperatures climb and winds pick up Sunday

PHOENIX — Changes are coming, and they're coming fast!

An approaching storm system is going to shake things up starting Monday. Expect mostly cloudy skies, with rain chances picking up later this evening.

In the Valley, a brief shower is possible Monday evening into early Tuesday morning.

Up north, scattered showers and storms will fire up along the Rim and into northeastern Arizona through Tuesday afternoon.

It's going to get breezy, too. Valley gusts around 20 miles per hour are expected as that system moves through.

Temperatures are going to take quite a dip, too, dropping nearly 20 degrees by Tuesday. That puts our highs right around 80, with morning lows falling into the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Then, a strong ridge of high pressure builds in right behind the storm, sending temperatures soaring right back into the nineties and even triple digits by late week.

That heat sticks around into the weekend.
