PHOENIX — Temperatures plummeted, winds picked up and we even saw rain and snow on Friday as a big fall storm tracked through.
Rainfall amounts were light, with less than a tenth of an inch in most Valley neighborhoods. However, some parts of north Phoenix and Fountain Hills picked up nearly a quarter of an inch of rain.
Up north, we saw 2 to 3 inches of snow in Payson and Flagstaff, and over 5 inches in Pinetop-Lakeside.
Now, all of the rain and snow is clearing to the east overnight.
As skies clear out, temperatures will plummet.
Valley lows will drop into the 40s by sunrise Friday morning.
Freeze Warnings are in effect up north for places like Kingman, Prescott, Camp Verde, Sedona and Payson. Many of the these spots haven't hit the freezing point yet this season and will be dropping into the upper 20s to low 30 overnight.
Temperatures across our state will slowly rebound over the next few days.
Valley highs will only reach the mid 60s on Friday, but will be back in the 70s over the weekend and could hit 80 degrees again on Monday.
