PHOENIX — After a week of wild weather and big temperature swing, things will quiet down for a few days with Phoenix staying dry through the weekend.
The weekend brings a bit of a warm-up, with Valley highs climbing back into the mid 70s on Saturday and Sunday.
Overnight lows will cool into the 50s each morning in the Valley.
We'll see another chance for showers in the high country by Sunday, as clouds and winds increase across the state, too.
The Valley stays dry but it will be mostly cloudy and breezy by Sunday. Wind gusts will peak near 25 mph.
Then a more active weather pattern sets up for us next week and the chance for showers starts to increase on Monday.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, we're switching into Weather Action Mode as we track a storm system that looks to bring widespread rain and more thunderstorms, and more snow to the high country. Winds will pick up on Tuesday and temperatures will get cooler again, too.
The rain and the snow could impact your outdoor plans as well as the morning and evening commutes on Tuesday and Wednesday, so plan ahead.
In northern Arizona, showers could lead to more snowmelt and runoff, causing more flooding. Stay weather-aware and stay tuned for more updates on flood alerts as we get closer.
