PHOENIX — We’re warming up in the Valley this weekend!
Phoenix will hit the low 70s on Saturday and Sunday, which is right near normal for this time of the year.
Winds will stay light here in the Valley, but they’ll pick up across much of the rest of the state this weekend.
As conditions stay dry, those high winds will really increase fire danger. Red Flag Warnings (also known as Fire Weather Warnings) have been issued for the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Sunday will be a bit breezy too as our next storm system approaches.
Rain and snow chances will start late Sunday night in the high country, but ramp up Monday through Wednesday as the core of this next storm tracks right through our state.
A Winter Storm Watch is into effect for portions of Mohave County from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning. Areas above 4,000 feet in elevation could potentially see two to five inches of snow.
Here in the Valley, there’s a chance of spotty showers Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Right now, it’s not looking like a lot of rain, but some neighborhoods could see up to a tenth of an inch.
As of Friday, January 24th, Phoenix has had 155 days in a row without measurable rain. That’s the second-longest dry streak on record.
If we don’t get any measurable rain at Sky Harbor soon, we could break the 1972 record of 160 dry days in a row.
