PHOENIX — Back-to-back storm systems are moving through Arizona dropping temperatures, cranking up winds and bringing rain and snow to our state.
Temperatures have dropped nearly 20 degrees since the start of the week, putting Valley highs in the low 80s.
Showers and thunderstorms brought gusty winds, rain and lightning to parts of the Valley Friday night and there's a slight chance for a few more on Saturday.
We'll be back in the clear by Sunday as high pressure returns.
So, expect another big warm-up next week. Valley temperatures will climb back into the upper 90s.
