PHOENIX — Our latest winter storm brought more rain, snow, and a big drop in temperatures to Arizona on Thursday.
Parts of the Valley picked up more than a quarter of an inch of rain, with 0.15 inches officially at Phoenix Sky Harbor.
Our Valley forecast is drying out now, but chances for snow showers continue across the high country overnight.
As the cold air settles in, we're tracking deep freezes in the high country and overnight temperatures plunging into the 30s in many Valley locations, too.
A Freeze Warning will be in effect Friday night into Saturday morning for many spots just east and southeast of Phoenix, including places like Aguila, Globe, Miami, Superior, San Carlos, Queen Creek, Casa Grande, and nearby communities.
Cold temperatures can cause frost, which can harm plants, crops, and even outdoor water pipes if they are not protected.
People in these areas should cover plants, bring sensitive plants indoors, and protect water pipes by wrapping them, draining them, or letting them drip slowly to keep them from freezing.
Always remember the 4 P's during a freeze: people, pets, plants and pipes. Take action to protect them from freezing temperatures.
As our forecast dries out this weekend and next week, temperatures will gradually climb. Highs will be back in the 70s here in the Valley as early as Sunday with overnight lows climbing into the mid 40s to low 50s next week.
