PHOENIX — Our big winter storm is clearing out, leaving cold air behind all across Arizona.
Temperatures are nearly 20 degrees below average, only reaching the low to mid 50s across the Valley Thursday afternoon.
Overnight lows will drop back into the 30s across much of the Valley, but we all should stay above the freezing point.
We may end up with frost on our windshields though and could even see areas of patchy fog early Friday morning.
Sunshine will be back throughout the day on Friday as temperatures rebound into the low 60s.
Our warming trend will continue over the weekend with highs in the upper 60s on Saturday and low 70s on Sunday.
A storm passing to our north will pick up winds a bit on Sunday.
We're tracking breezes in the Valley and windy conditions across northern Arizona.
