PHOENIX — Temperatures are warming up as we head into the weekend!
Highs will hit the mid 80s on Saturday, putting us several degrees above normal for this time of year.
Clouds will move in too ahead of our next storm that arrives on Sunday. It will bring more wind, cooler air and even chances for rain and snow.
Temperatures will drop by 10 to 15 degrees across our state putting Valley highs in the mid 70s on Sunday.
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, mainly falling on Sunday evening.
Our forecast dries back out on Monday as that storm heads east, but winds will stay breezy through the middle of next week.
Temperatures will gradually rebound with highs back in the 80s by Tuesday and flirting with the 90s by next Friday.
