PHOENIX — We're warming things up as we head through the weekend.

Our mornings will still stay chilly though, with Valley lows in the upper 30s to low 40s.

Daytime highs will hit the upper 60s today and low 70s on Sunday.

Winds will generally be light in the Valley, but we are expecting more strong breezes across northwestern Arizona along the Colorado River Valley today. Look for peak wind gusts near 35 mph in Bullhead City.

More breezes will pick up across much of the state on Sunday, with afternoon gusts in the Valley reaching 20 mph.

Breezy to windy conditions will once again be expected across northwestern Arizona as a Lake Wind Advisory takes effect Sunday morning. Peak wind gusts near 35 mph are expected from Lake Mead to Lake Havasu City.

We are expecting more breezy conditions across the Phoenix metro area as winds shift on Monday. Look for peak wind gusts near 25 mph throughout the day with highs in the low 70s.

As high pressure builds in next week, we'll continue to warm up.

Expect high temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees by the middle to end of next week here in Phoenix.
