PHOENIX — The 90s are back and sticking around as we head into May!
We are tracking a few storm systems this week passing well to our north. They'll be too far away to bring any rain chances, but they will pick up our breezes at times.
Here in the Valley, it will get breezy Wednesday afternoon with peak gust near 25 mph. Up north, wind gusts could top out near 30 mph.
Temperatures will stay warm, even with these winds picking up at times. Expect highs in the Valley in the low to mid 90s throughout the week. That is several degrees above normal for this time of year.
Winds will pick up again on Sunday as another storm system approaches. This one could even bring a few spotty showers to northern Arizona.
Peak gusts could top 40 mph across northern Arizona with 30 mph gusts in the Valley.
As these winds pick up, temperatures will drop.
Phoenix will fall into the low 90s on Sunday and upper 80s on Monday. Then, we'll begin another warm-up next week.
