PHOENIX — Cooler air is settling into Arizona behind our latest winter storm.
Phoenix is headed into the upper 60s this afternoon after reaching 70 degrees yesterday.
Rain and snow showers are still possible across eastern Arizona before this storm system clears out completely tonight.
Here in the Valley, our forecast is looking sunny and dry with chilly mornings and mild afternoons.
Early morning lows will stay in the 40s throughout the week, but we shouldn't see any frost delays at the Phoenix Open.
High pressure will take over heading into Super Bowl weekend, sending temperatures soaring!
Valley highs will reach the upper 60s on Wednesday, low 70s on Thursday and mid 70s on Friday. Highs could even approach the upper 70s by Saturday.
Winds will be breezy Thursday through Sunday across the Valley, too.
Then, our next winter storm will be moving in Sunday and Monday.
Right now, Valley rain chances are slim, at just 10 percent late Sunday and Monday. So, we are not anticipating any issues for Super Bowl events here.
We expect this to mainly impact the high country with more chances for snow along the Mogollon Rim and across northern Arizona on Sunday and Monday.
It will get significantly cooler across all of Arizona as this storm moves in.
High temperatures in the Valley will drop by about 10 degrees, putting Super Bowl Sunday highs back in the mid 60s across the Phoenix metro area.
