PHOENIX — Our latest winter storm is clearing out of Arizona, leaving behind some very cold air.
Temperatures along the Mogollon Rim will drop into the single digits overnight and more freezes are expected here in the Valley.
Freeze Warnings are in effect until 9 a.m. Friday across the Phoenix metro area as temperatures fall into the upper 20s to low 30s.
Make sure your sensitive plants are covered again, bring pets inside, and bundle up before you head out the door Friday morning.
Hard Freeze Warnings are in effect for outlying areas west and east of the Valley, as well as across Pinal and Pima counties. Temperatures in these spots will be freezing for longer overnight and could drop into the mid to upper 20s. Make sure any exposed pipes are wrapped to prevent them from freezing.
Temperatures will rebound as our Valley forecast stays dry over the weekend, but we could see a few more light snow showers in northern Arizona on Sunday.
Expect highs back in the mid 60s in Phoenix on MLK Day.
