PHOENIX — Our dry streak is over!
Phoenix Sky Harbor picked up 0.09 inches of rain as of 10 p.m. Thursday.
There's a chance of a few more rain showers overnight and Friday before rain chances ramp up again early Saturday morning as the core of this storm system moves through.
Parts of central and southern Arizona, including the Valley, could see another tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain with higher amounts near the mountains.
Parts of northern Arizona and the high country could see around a quarter to half an inch of rain over the next few days.
Temperatures are dropping, too. Valley highs will fall from the low to mid 80s into the mid to upper 70s this weekend.
Breezes will pick up on Sunday as another storm system moves down from Utah and clips by the Four Corners. Gusts will peak near 25 mph in the Valley and 35 mph up north.
We could also see a few more showers on Sunday across Arizona, but our forecast will dry out again on Monday.
Look for mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s through Thanksgiving week in the Valley.
