PHOENIX — Phoenix is facing another day in the 90s on Friday as temperatures continue to run around 10 degrees above normal.
But, changes are on the way as back-to-back storm systems approach Arizona.
The first storm system will clip by this weekend, bringing more clouds, cooler air and a chance of spotty showers to parts of Arizona.
Here in the Valley, our rain chances will hold off until early next week as a second, colder storm system moves in from the northwest.
We're not expecting a lot of rain, but we could see a few spotty showers in the Valley on Monday or early Tuesday next week.
Winds will pick up, too. Expect breezy conditions over the next few days as these storm systems pass by.
Increased winds and dry conditions will lead to heightened wildfire danger across southeastern Arizona.
Fire Weather Watches are in effect on Sunday from Casa Grande south to the Mexican border and across southeastern Arizona to the New Mexican border. Watch out for gusts near 40 mph.
The cooler air flowing in with these storms will drop Valley temperatures into the 80s Saturday and Sunday and into the upper 70s by the start of next week.
2026 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall to date: 0.32" (-2.37" from average)
