PHOENIX — A major cold blast is settling in over Arizona as our latest winter storm heads east.
The snow has ended across the high country, but travel will could still be dicey in some areas with icy and snow covered roads.
As the cold air takes over, temperatures are running 10 to 15 degrees below the normal for this time of year across our state.
Overnight lows will dip back into the 30s again Friday morning across the Valley, with more single digit lows across the high country.
With most Valley locations will stay above the freezing point, we could still see frost on our car windshields again in the morning.
Temperatures warm back up as we head into the weekend.
Expect highs in the 70s across the Phoenix metro area by Saturday and we're headed into the 80s next week.
That will be a 30-degree warm-up in less than a week here in the Valley!
