PHOENIX — Our latest storm system is clearing out of Arizona and leaving behind some cooler air.
Temperatures will drop into the 40s across the Valley overnight with widespread freezes across the high country.
As winds stay light and pollution lingers over the Valley, a burn ban has been issued by Maricopa County. That means burning wood in your fireplaces or wood-burning stoves is prohibited overnight.
Our forecast will stay dry as we head into the weekend with high pressure building in again.
Valley temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 70s Saturday and Sunday and stay there early next week, too.
By the middle of next week, a storm will approaching from the Pacific. Clouds will move in and temperatures will start to drop.
We could also see chances for rain and snow back in the forecasts across our state starting Wednesday and ramping up into Thursday and Friday.
This storm could lead to some holiday travel issues ahead of Christmas, so stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
