PHOENIX — Your trick-or-treat forecast on Monday evening is looking great!
Expect Valley temperatures in the 70s with clear skies and light winds by the time you head out the door. Around the state expect clear skies, light winds and temperatures in the 40s and 50s for most cities in the High Country.
The 80s will stick around through the middle of next week before a cold snap drops our highs by nearly 20 degrees.
The timing of the cold front is Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Winds ahead of the system will send gusts of 20 mph through the Valley and gusts of 50 mph across northern Arizona.
We're tracking a chance for rain and snow across our state as a storm system moves in from the Pacific Northwest. As of right now, models are showing snow levels dropping to as low as 5000 feet but only one to two inches of snow sticking to the ground.
As far as rain, not much is expected anywhere from a sprinkle to up to .25".
We'll have updates on how much rain and snow we could get as the storm gets closer. Stay tuned.
