Phoenix meteorologist predicts cold front through mid-week
Winter weather continued in the Phoenix area after months of above-average temperatures.
The National Weather Service issued a freeze watch from Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning as cold temperatures approach metro Phoenix.
Tuesday night was projected for a low of 34 degrees in Phoenix, with lows to continue in the upper 30s through the rest of the week.
“We’re at the backside of a large-scale weather system impacting much of the United States bringing a lot of cold weather,” said Matt Salerno, a lead meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. “We’re experiencing a cold front pushing through the West, funneling down the Colorado River Valley.”
Most of the metro area will be impacted, and meteorologists warned residents to take action before temperatures drop.
Drought, extreme weather:have turned the West’s ‘fire seasons’ into ‘fire years’
People should protect pets, plants, pipes and themselves during cold weather. Covering outdoor plants and exposed pipes, and bringing pets indoors can help keep all of them safe.
Winds could reach as high as 35 mph Monday evening, so residents should also consider tying down loose outdoor items.
Salerno said the rest of the week will steadily warm up, with daytime highs in the mid 60s and low 70s by Friday.
Phoenix’s 151-day dry spell as of Monday afternoon could finally end over the weekend, as there is a 20% to 40% chance of rain Saturday night into Sunday. This is the second longest streak without rain in Phoenix — the longest stretch was 160 days in 1972.
Rain chances will continue through the beginning of next week as a slow-moving system lingers over the region.
“We’re hoping that streak will come to an end. We’re quickly approaching that 160-day record,” Salerno said. “All we need is a hundredth of an inch to end that streak at Sky Harbor, but we would prefer a lot more than that.”
