PHOENIX — Another weak storm system will move through Arizona on Wednesday.

Our Valley forecast is looking dry, but we could see more spotty rain and snow showers along the Mogollon Rim Wednesday afternoon.

Highs will be in the upper 60s across the Phoenix metro area on Wednesday, putting us right near normal for this time of year.

Overnight lows will stay chilly as temperatures drop into the 40s across the Valley around sunrise each day this week.

Valley highs will rebound into the low 70s on Thursday, but could drop to the 60s again heading into the weekend as another storm system moves in.

At this point our Valley forecast is looking dry, but we could see more snow showers across northern Arizona and along the Mogollon Rim Friday night and Saturday.

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
