Don't break out the sweaters and boots yet.

Phoenix saw a glimpse of cool, fall-like temperatures last week, but that will not continue into this week as temperatures are expected to rise again.

Highs are expected to be in the mid-to-upper 80s this week with clear, sunny skies, according to forecaster Larry Hopper with the National Weather Service. Overnight lows are expected to be in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

A slight cool down is expected Wednesday with about a 20% chance of thunderstorms and cloud cover. There is no significant wind expected for the week. However, there is a chance of gusty wind if the storm comes through Wednesday, he said.
