FORECAST: Warm start to the week with a big cool-down by Friday

A storm system moving into the West Coast will send a smaller cut-off area of energy our way Monday and Tuesday, keeping us partly cloudy. While moisture will be available in the mid-levels, it will be fairly dry at the surface, so rain chances in the Valley are slim Tuesday morning, but don't rule out a few drops.

A storm system moving into the West Coast will send a smaller cut-off area of energy our way Monday and Tuesday, keeping us partly cloudy. While moisture will be available in the mid-levels, it will be fairly dry at the surface, so rain chances in the Valley are slim Tuesday morning, but don't rule out a few drops.

With this short wave of energy, there could also be a few rain showers in the high county/

The main area of energy moves into Arizona Friday into Saturday, bringing better rain and snow chances and a big drop in temperatures.

Temperatures will drop back into the 80s and 70s by the end of this week, with morning lows in the Valley in the 50s.

Stay tuned as we get closer for updates.
