PHOENIX — Bundle up! We are tracking another cold morning across Arizona for Sunday. Temperatures will stay below normal for this time of year for our highs throughout the weekend.

Freeze Warnings go back into effect tonight at midnight for much of south-central, southeastern, and southwestern Arizona. This includes nearly all of the Valley, excluding Anthem, Cave Creek, and Fountain Hills. The warning is also in place for Casa Grande, Coolidge, Florence, Gila Bend, Wickenburg, and Quartzsite.

Warning will go back into effect Sunday night into Monday morning too.

Wrap exposed pipes, cover sensitive plants, and bring pets inside to keep them safe.

In the Valley, morning temperatures will plunge into the mid 30s to low 30s, with afternoon highs on Sunday rebounding into the low to mid 60s.

As winds shift out of the north this week, gusts could approach 50 mph along the Colorado River Valley. A Wind Advisory is in place for Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City unitil 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Winds will stay light in the Phoenix metro area as our forecast stays cool and dry.

More freezes are likely in parts of the Valley late this weekend and into early next week in the early morning hours.

Phoenix Sky Harbor hasn’t experienced a freezing temperature since January 2, 2019. Current forecasts suggest temperatures at the airport will remain just above freezing, extending the city’s six-year streak above 32 degrees.

A gradual warm-up is ahead next week. Valley highs will climb into the 70s starting Wednesday.
