PHOENIX — As cold air settles in behind our latest winter storm, temperatures are plummeting!
We'll see single digit and sub-zero lows in the high country by Thursday morning.
Freeze Warnings and Hard Freeze Warnings are in effect overnight into Thursday morning for all of central, southern and western Arizona, including right here in the Valley.
Bundle up! Valley lows will drop into the upper 20s to mid 30s overnight.
Be sure to protect your pipes and sensitive plants by covering them up or bringing them inside.
Remember to bring your pets inside overnight, too.
Temperatures will rebound to near 60 degrees by Thursday afternoon and we'll continue to climb into the weekend.
Winds will pick back up again on Friday, though. Peak gusts could approach 30 mph here in the Valley as temperatures top out in the mid 60s.
Winds will lighten up over the weekend with Valley highs back in the low to mid 70s.
And, we're already tracking another storm that could bring more rain and snow to Arizona late this weekend and early next week. So, stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
