Winds are picking up over Arizona as another storm system moves in

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 pretty dry storm system for our state, but we could see a few spotty showers over the weekend as it moves through.

Rain chances are slim in the valley, but if we get a few isolated showers Saturday or Sunday, we’ll probably only see a few hundredths of an inch of rain.

Up north, the snow level will drop to around 5,000 feet and we could see an inch of snow near Flagstaff if these small chances pan out.

We are also tracking a significant drop in daytime temperatures that are expected to drop 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 upper 60s Sunday and Monday before climbing into the 70s next week.

With the high pressure building, we could even approach the 80s again in Phoenix late next week.
