Temperatures above normal for central Arizona

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Happy Saturday, everyone! Temperatures are right where they should be for this time of the year, in the mid-80s this evening. Clear conditions will persist through the overnight hours, with temperatures in the Valley dropping to 60 degrees overnight.

Temperatures will jump above normal through the end of the weekend thanks to high-pressure building over the region. This will keep the state dry and warm temps into the lower 90s Sunday and Monday. We are tracking our next system that will push through the region from the pacific northwest mid-week and bring slightly cooler temperatures and breezy to windy state conditions.

Winds could gust to nearly 40mph across the higher terrain and around 25mph in the lower deserts. Once that system exits, temperatures will warm up about five degrees above average and back into the lower 90s by next weekend.
