After a cool stretch over the weekend, a warmer week is ahead for the Valley. FOX 10's Erica Horvatin has more on those highs and the chance for some rain.

PHOENIX - Following a beautiful weekend of showers, clouds, winds and cooler temperatures, Monday brought a similarly nice forecast!

Monday:

Monday was a beautiful day across the Valley, with a high temperature of 83 degrees under clear skies and with lighter winds. The high country was not as lucky, winds still gusting up to around 35 mph in many spots. Kingman even hit wind gust speeds of 47 mph.

The winds will lighten overnight, and skies will stay clear. Temperatures will fall to around 61 degrees in Phoenix.

Morning Weather Forecast - 4/27/26

We'll stay cool on Monday in the Valley before temps warm up later this week.

This Week:

Tuesday will be a mostly to partly sunny day, with a high of 87 degrees. Winds will stay lighter in the high country on Tuesday, with wind gusts up to around 25 mph.

A few clouds will push up from the south on Tuesday, but those clouds don't fill out and bulk up until Wednesday, when a partly to mostly cloudy sky is forecast. The forecast high doesn't climb too much over the next few days. Instead, the high shifts to a near-average of around 87 Tuesday, 88 Wednesday, 85 Thursday and 87 on Friday.

The warm-up continues through Wednesday, but an incoming storm system will impact our weather Thursday through Friday. There is a 20% chance of rain across Arizona Thursday through Friday, and temperatures will drop a few degrees.

By Thursday, a storm system will approach our state from the south. The direct track will decide how good of a chance our state has for showers. For now, it appears the best chance for rain will be over southern and eastern Arizona. But, there is a chance the track will move northward enough to give the Valley a 20% chance of showers.

This Weekend:

Quickly, the area warms over the weekend. The forecast high jumps back into the mid 90s Saturday and Sunday.

Looking Ahead:

Next week we may see another slip into the 80s, starting May with comfortable weather.
