PHOENIX — It's another chilly night in the Valley!

Temperatures will drop into the upper 30s to low 40s by sunrise.

Then, we'll start a warm-up that will take us into the 70s for the first time this year on Friday.

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.

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 in.

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

Highs will be back in the low 70s heading into next week.

The next storm system will be moving in from the west early next week.

It looks like we could see rain and snow back in the forecasts across Arizona by Tuesday and Wednesday.

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
