PHOENIX — Get ready for a big warm-up in the Valley!

High pressure is building in and sending temperatures soaring as we head into the weekend.

Temperatures will climb into the low 70s on Friday and mid 70s on Saturday and Sunday, putting us a few degrees above normal for this time of year.

Clouds will move through on Friday and breezes will pick up, but our forecast is staying dry.

Early next week, we're tracking another weak storm passing by that will mainly impact northern Arizona. We'll see a slight chance of a few light snow showers in Flagstaff on Monday along with breezes across much of the state.

Temperatures will drop several degrees as cooler air with that storm settles in.

Here in the Valley, look for highs back in the upper 60s for the start of next week.
