PHOENIX — A very warm start to the weekend as temperatures reached 97 degrees in Phoenix today. Hopefully, you enjoyed the warm day as a big cool off is set to start Sunday. A storm system moving in will bring temperatures tumbling, rain to the Valley and high country, and winds that will cause blowing dust. While most of Sunday remains dry in the Valley until nighttime, we will start to see a few isolated showers and thunderstorms in the high country through the afternoon.
