PHOENIX — High clouds are moving across Arizona today, but we won't see any rain or snow.
Skies will clear out on Wednesday and our forecast will stay sunny and dry for Thanksgiving.
A storm system will pass to our east on Thanksgiving, bringing northerly winds into Arizona. That will lower temperatures and pick up breezy to windy conditions for the holiday.
Highs will reach the low to mid 70 today and Wednesday, which is right near normal for this time of year. Then, we'll drop into the upper 60s to low 70s for Thursday and Friday.
Valley wind gusts will peak near 25 mph on Thanksgiving day with gusts as high as 45 mph across parts of northwestern Arizona, prompting a Wind Advisory for the Colorado River Valley beginning Wednesday night.
We'll stay dry through the weekend, but another storm system approaches from the northwest early next week bringing rain and snow chances back to Arizona.
Winds are expected to pick up on Monday and we could see some rain and snow showers in parts of our state by late Monday night or Tuesday.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
