PHOENIX — After a very breezy day across Arizona, winds are dying down overnight.
As skies stay clear, temperatures will plummet.
Overnight lows should stay above the freezing point in most Valley cities, but it will still be cold as temperatures drop into the mid 30s by sunrise.
Daytime highs will be back in the low 60s Friday afternoon, putting us several degrees below normal for this time of year.
Temperatures will climb into the mid 60s on Saturday and upper 60s on Sunday as we stay sunny and dry across the Valley.
By late Sunday night, our next winter storm will be approaching from the west. This one is set to bring more rain and snow to Arizona, along with another big drop in temperatures.
Valley highs will fall back into the 50s by Monday.
Early precipitation estimates show that the Valley could see a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain on Monday and Tuesday.
Up north, the snow level could go as low as 4,000 feet and our highest elevations like Flagstaff could pick up anywhere from two to six inches of snow late Sunday night through Tuesday morning.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
