PHOENIX — It's going to be another chilly morning as lows fall into the mid 30s to low 40s across the Valley by sunrise.

Air quality will continue to be an issue in the early morning hours as particle pollution settles over the Valley. If you have any respiratory issues, limit your time outside between 5 and 10 a.m.

Afternoon highs will hit the mid 60s through the middle of the week. Then, we'll warm things up a bit and could even hit 70 for the first time this year on Friday!

Temperatures will dip slightly over the weekend as a storm system passes to our north. That will put Phoenix back in the upper 60s on Saturday as clouds move back in.

That storm system could bring a few light snow showers to northern Arizona on Saturday, but our Valley forecast looks dry.
