PHOENIX — We’re tracking a storm system moving in from the northwest, picking up winds and dropping temperatures across Arizona.
Overall, this looks like a fairly dry storm system for our state, but it’s possible we’ll see some spotty showers this weekend as it moves through.
Rain chances are slim in the Valley, but if we get a few isolated showers Saturday or Sunday, we will likely see only a few hundredths of an inch of rain.
To the north, snow levels will drop to around 5,000 feet and we could see an inch of snow near Flagstaff if these small chances materialize.
We are also tracking a significant drop in temperatures, with daytime highs expected to drop by 15 to 20 degrees across the state.
Here in Phoenix, temperatures will drop into the mid-60s on Saturday, putting us almost 10 degrees below normal for this time of year.
Temperatures will remain in the 60s on Sunday and Monday before climbing into the 70s next week.
With high pressure increasing, we could actually approach the 80s again in Phoenix by the end of next week.
