PHOENIX — Today, temperatures will begin to drop slightly but remain above normal as clouds build in across Arizona.
Temperatures have been well above average across the Valley with high near the 80s. The average last 80-degree day is November 24, but last year we stayed in the 80s until after December 17.
The latest 80-degree day on record is December 30, 1980.
Overnight temperatures will still be chilly as the Valley drops into the upper 40s to mid 50s for the next few days.
As our next storm system approaches, clouds will move in and temperatures will drop to the upper 70s today and tomorrow.
We'll also see winds pick up in the high country today, and slight chances for a few spotty rain and snow showers across Arizona as that storm passes by next week.
Parts of northern Arizona could pick up a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain, mainly Tuesday night and Wednesday.
The snow level will gradually lower to around 6,000 feet on Wednesday across the high country with a light dusting of snow possible in Flagstaff.
This storm will clear out in time for Thanksgiving with temperatures dropping into the mid 70s here in Phoenix.
