PHOENIX — Clouds are moving in overnight as moisture streams in from the southwest.
We may see a few spotty showers in southeastern Arizona, but our Valley forecast will stay dry.
The main storm track will stay too far north throughout the rest of the week to bring any rain to the Valley, but we will see more clouds moving through each day.
Highs will top out in the mid 70s through the middle of the week, putting us right near normal for this time of year.
We'll be warming up even more by the end of the week and Phoenix could see its first 80-degree day of the year by Friday.
The average first 80-degree day is in early February, so this is a bit later than normal.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 80s through the weekend and into early next week, too.
We are also tracking a storm that may brush into northern Arizona late Friday and Saturday. That will pick up winds across our state and could bring a few rain and snow showers to areas near and north of I-40. We'll keep you posted as we get closer.
