PHOENIX — As high pressure builds in to our southwest, temperatures will slowly climb over the next several days.
Look for daytime highs in the Valley in the mid to upper 60s with early morning lows in the upper 30s to low 40s throughout the week. This puts us right near average for this time of year.
By Christmas, temperatures will top out in the upper 60s to low 70s across the Phoenix metro area and we'll stay there early next week too.
We'll see similar warming trends across Arizona throughout the Christmas holiday as much of the state stays dry.
A weak disturbance will clip by the Four Corners on Friday, though. So, we may see a few snow flurries across the Navajo Nation that day.
