PHOENIX — Monday morning we could see isolated freezes in Pinal County and parts of southwest Arizona. The valley will be chilly with morning temperatures in the mid-30s.
High pressure returns to the desert southwest this week leading to dry, sunny and warm temperatures.
For the start of the week, clouds will come and go with daytime highs in the low 60s in the Valley, which will still be a few degrees below normal for this time of year.
By midweek the arm-up kicks in with clear skies and sunshine our afternoon temperatures will climb a couple of degrees each day, putting Phoenix near 70 degrees by Christmas Eve.
The four corners portion of Arizona could see a few light snow showers over the holiday week but we'll see how that storm develops throughout the week. Stay tuned for more details.
