PHOENIX — Temperatures are dropping out of record territory, but still nearly 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.

The Valley will warm into the upper 70s each day through the weekend as overnight lows fall into the mid 40s to mid 50s.

Up north, high winds will continue to be an issue through Friday along the Mogollon Rim and across northeastern Arizona. Gusts could approach 40 mph in Kingman, Flagstaff and Show Low.

A Wind Advisory is now in effect until 8 p.m. for the Colorado River Valley in Mohave County. Gusty winds up to 55 mph could blow around unsecured objects and pockets of blowing dust may reduce visibility.

Here in the Valley, winds will stay light and there are no chances for rain, so the weather is looking fantastic for this year's Phoenix Open. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies, no frost delays and highs in the mid 70s.

A weak storm system will move into Arizona early next week bringing a chance of rain and snow showers to parts of our state and another one could impact Arizona toward the end of next week with even more rain and snow. Temperatures will drop, too. Stay tuned for updates on these big weather changes as we get closer.
