PHOENIX — Don't put the sweaters away just yet, today will be the coolest day of the week in the Valley and mornings are staying chilly, too.

In the Valley, temperatures will be slow to climb into the mid-60s today.

Skies will stay clear in the Valley but, snow showers will continue along the Mogollon Rim and Kaibab Plateau into the early evening.

Breezy to windy conditions also return to the state tomorrow. A Lake Wind Advisory takes effect Monday for portions of the Colorado River Valley, including Lake Havasu City. Peak wind gusts of 40 mph can't be ruled out.

A chance for more rain and snow showers will continue across northern Arizona Monday and again next Thursday but, our Valley forecast is looking dry as temperatures start to rebound. Additional snowfall amounts in the high country less than an inch expected.

Look for highs back in the 70s across the Valley by the middle of the week and morning lows in the 40s all week.
