PHOENIX — Temperatures are gradually warming up and will be flirting with the 70s this weekend.

Tonight, clear and cold conditions may lead to freeze for parts of Maricopa County. A Freeze Warning has been issued for the Aguila Valley, including Wickenburg, through early Saturday.

High pressure will control our weather pattern through early next week, meaning dry conditions and warmer temps!

Then, another storm system may bring more rain, snow, and cooler temps to the state as early as Wednesday and last through Christmas Eve.

Stay tuned to ABC15 for further updates as we get closer!
