ARIZONA, USA — Temperatures will heat up this weekend, with 100s returning to much of the lower deserts and western Arizona.
There will be elevated ozone levels across Maricopa County on Saturday and Sunday, so air quality won't be the best this weekend.
In Northern Arizona, the sunshine will yield some showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours. This kind of activity will continue to flare up each afternoon through the middle of next week.
Breezy winds will be back early next week and the pattern change will help knock the Valley out of 100-degree territory throughout the middle of the workweek.


SATURDAY: 72/100 Sunny
SUNDAY: 74/102 Sunny
MONDAY: 74/102 Sunny, breezy
TUESDAY: 70/97 Sunny, breezy
