PHOENIX — Gusty winds, rain and snow impacted parts of Arizona on Wednesday as another storm moved through.

Phoenix Sky Harbor picked up a trace of rain, with 0.04 to 0.08 inches in northern portions of Maricopa County.

The cooler air with this storm also dropped temperatures by 5 to 10 degrees and Valley highs are expected to hit the mid 70s again on Thursday.

High pressure will build in by the end of the week, sending temperatures back into the low 80s Friday and Saturday.

We'll get even warmer on Sunday as temperatures climb into the mid 80s. Clouds will move in, but our forecast will stay dry throughout the weekend.

Early next week, we'll be tracking another storm that will bring more rain and snow chances to Arizona. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
