PHOENIX — High pressure is back and sending temperatures soaring!
Valley highs will climb into the mid 90s through the end of the week, putting temperatures around 10 degrees above normal.
More clouds will move in on Thursday, but our forecast will stay dry. Those clouds are coming in ahead of another weak storm system set to pass through Arizona on Friday.
Breezes will pick up as that weak disturbance moves through with peak wind gusts in the Valley at 20 to 25 mph on Friday afternoon.
Valley temperatures will drop a couple of degrees as we kick off the weekend, too.
Then, high pressure will return and potentially bring our first 100s of year by the start of next week.
On average, Phoenix's first 100-degree day happens around May 2nd.
