PHOENIX — High pressure is flattening out a bit for the end of the week, and we're still staying dry, but a bit of cooler air mixing in will allow our afternoons to cool down for a few days.
Temperatures will drop to the mid 80s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Overnights will remain chilly and in the mid 50s to low 60s around the Valley.
By the end of the weekend, another ridge of high pressure builds in and takes control of our weather pattern. This ridge will block any storms from moving in and send afternoon highs back into the upper 80s for Sunday and Monday.
In fact, with an expected high of 88 degrees on Sunday, Phoenix could tie the record high for that day of 88 degrees set in 2005.
By the end of next week, we'll be tracking a storm system offshore that could bring some rain chances to Arizona by next weekend.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
