MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Gradual warm-up into Christmas!

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — Clouds will move into Arizona overnight and throughout the day Tuesday, but our forecast will stay dry.

As high pressure builds in to our southwest, temperatures will slowly climb over the next several days.

Look for daytime highs in the Valley in the mid 60s with early morning lows in the upper 30s to low 40s throughout the week. This puts us right near average for this time of year.

By Christmas, temperatures will top out in the upper 60s and we'll be nearing 70 in Phoenix by next Monday.

We'll see similar warming trends across Arizona throughout the Christmas holiday as much of the state stays dry.

A weak disturbance will clip by the Four Corners on Friday, though. So, we may see a few snow flurries across the Navajo Nation that day.
