PHOENIX — High pressure is building in and temperatures will slowly warm up as we get ready to wrap up the year.
Valley highs will remain right near normal for Thursday before bumping up into the 70s for Friday and Saturday.
Overnight lows will be chilly, dropping into the 30s to 40s each day this week.
High clouds will move through at times but we're staying dry through the end of the week.
A quick-moving disturbance will move across our state this weekend, dropping Valley highs back into the mid to 60s for the last day of the year.
This disturbance will also bring a slight chance of rain showers to the Valley early Sunday morning. The impacts look minimal though, and it looks like it will be dry for those New Year's Eve celebrations Sunday night.
We could see some light snow showers along the Mogollon Rim on Sunday and New Year's Day, but the amounts also look minimal at this point.
