PHOENIX — It's been a cool start to the week in the Valley!
Highs only peaked in the low 70s across the Phoenix metro area Monday afternoon, putting us more than 10 degrees below normal for this time of year!
Overnight lows are getting chillier, too.
Valley temperatures will drop into the 50s overnight and stay there throughout the week.
For spots across eastern and southeastern Arizona, like Safford, Duncan, Willcox, Sierra Vista and Nogales, Freeze Warnings are in effect from midnight until 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. Take action there to protect plants and outdoor water pipes from the potentially damaging freezing temperatures.
Another storm system will move through the Four Corners on Thursday, bringing more breezes and a slight chance of snow showers to northeastern Arizona.
Our Valley forecast will stay dry.
As high pressure builds in from the south, temperatures will get a bit warmer as we head into the weekend. Expect Valley highs in the low 80s starting Wednesday and edging up toward the mid 80s over the weekend.
