PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and keeping temperatures on the rise over the next few days.

Here in the Valley, we will see highs run as high as 6-7 degrees above normal.

For Wednesday, expect a mostly sunny day with highs topping out around 107 degrees.

The peak of the heat will be Thursday as Phoenix approaches 108 degrees.

As we head into the midweek, a weak area of low pressure slides to our south, bringing a few rain chances to the White Mountains and far eastern Arizona.

Breezes will also pick up starting Thursday, and temperatures will drop slightly with the passage of this system.

It still looks like we'll hold onto the triple digits for the entire first week of June. Another storm system set to dive in this weekend is showing a lower impact on bringing temperatures down, but will increase our winds. Weekend winds could gust 20-30 mph in the Valley and nearly 35 mph in the high country.
