Weather will plummet into the 70s with a chance of rain and thunder in Phoenix early this week with a good chance of skyrocketing to 100 degrees by the end of the week.
Phoenix’s National Weather Service meteorologist Isaac Smith said Sunday’s low 90s temperatures will crash into the upper 70s on Monday and dip a little lower on Tuesday.
The Weather Service tweeted that a Pacific weather system is giving a break from the dry, windy and dusty weather warming southwest Arizona.
It brings the possibility of light showers across Arizona by Monday. Chances will ramp up by Monday night going into Tuesday, said Smith, and Tuesday afternoon might even see some thunderstorms across the Valley.

Officers arrived at the truck stop and took the adult male suspect into custody.
Buckeye police were still investigating the scene where the suspect and his vehicle were located. Neither the suspect nor the victim have been identified by police.
Phoenix police say a woman shot at officers as they were cleaning up her yard on Monday evening.
An officer shot back at the woman but she was not shot, according to a statement from Phoenix police. She was arrested after hours of negotiations and was injured with less-lethal rounds.
It started when community action officers were at a home near 47th Avenue and Greenway Road with a representative from the city s Neighborhood Services Department and at least four volunteers to clean up the yard due to bushes and trees being overgrown, police said.
The homeowner was aware the group was coming but it is not clear yet if the woman, who lives in the home, was aware, Phoenix Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Ann Justus said in a news conference Monday night.
