PHOENIX — Winds are gradually dying down after gusts peaked near 35 mph in the Valley Wednesday afternoon.
We stayed dry in the Valley, but showers and thunderstorms moved through northern Arizona and we even saw some snow along the Kaibab Plateau and in the White Mountains.
As that storm system exits to the east on Thursday, we'll dry out across all of Arizona for St. Patrick's Day.
Temperatures will drop a few degrees, but stay in the 80s here in the Valley until Sunday.
Then, we're tracking another storm system bringing a bigger dose of cool air our way.
Winds will pick up across our state on Sunday as temperatures drop by nearly 15 degrees.
Valley highs will fall into the low to mid 70s Sunday with overnight lows in the upper 40s to low 50s by Monday morning.
We'll also see a chance for spotty showers across the state, which could include more snow showers for the highest elevations. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
