PHOENIX — The storm that brought more than one-half inch of rain for many parts of the Valley and several inches of snow to the high country is slowly moving out of the state.
As that system exits tonight, expect lingering rain and snow showers before we dry out this weekend.
Temperatures are going to be significantly cooler than they've been all week, with Valley highs only reaching the low to mid-60s Saturday and Sunday.
We get a bit warmer to start next week, but our weather pattern will stay active through mid-February with a few more storms on the way that will bring back the cooler conditions.
Our next storm could bring even more rain by the middle of next week, potentially impacting travel and this year's Waste Management Phoenix Open. Therefore, ABC15 Weather Action Days take effect Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer.
