PHOENIX — It was a beautiful St. Patrick's Day in the Valley!

Overnight lows will drop into the upper 40s to low 50s across the Phoenix metro area as high clouds pass through.

Then, highs warm back into the low to mid 80s heading into the weekend.

Our next storm system moves in on Sunday bringing more wind, cooler air and even chances for rain and snow.

Temperatures will drop by 10 to 15 degrees across our state on Sunday putting Valley highs in the mid 70s.

We'll also see a chance for spotty showers across the state, which could include more snow showers for the highest elevations.

Right now, accumulations look light with less than an inch of snow for spots like Flagstaff and less than 0.05" of rain for the Valley.

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
