MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Nice weather continues heading into the weekend

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — Clouds are moving in overnight, but our forecast will stay dry as we head into the weekend.

Valley temperatures will top out in the mid 60s Friday, Saturday and Sunday with overnight lows in the low 40s.

By Sunday night, our next big storm will be moving in from the west.

Wind, rain, snow and a major blast of cold air will be impacting Arizona by Monday.

That could impact travel across our state as roads get slick and icy and winds gust to near 40 mph.

Early estimates show that the snow level could drop to 4,000 feet in elevation with five to ten inches of snow expected for areas above 6,000 feet, like Flagstaff.

Here in the Valley, some spots could get up to a half an inch of rain on Monday.

These estimates may change (perhaps even quite a bit) over the next few days, so stay tuned for updates as we get closer!

It's also looking much colder next week as this storm moves in.

Valley highs will fall into the 50s starting Monday with overnight lows in the 30s.

Up north, our highest elevations will see overnight temperatures plunge into the single digits.

So, prepare for a chilly week all across Arizona!
