An Arctic plunge affecting much of the nation east of the Rockies will spill into southeastern Arizona. We won’t be frigid, but a backdoor cold front moving in from New Mexico will cool us off a bit here in the metro and a bit more dramatically to our east. East breezes picking up today 10-20 mph with a high near 70. Still 4 or 5 degrees above average for this time of year. High cloudiness too for sunrise and sunset enhancement possibilities.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the low 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high near 70. Mid 70s Thursday and Friday.

A storm approacheth Friday night with a slight chance for light rain (half the calories of our regular rain). The storm and associated cold front blows through on Saturday with much cooler temperatures and a chance for showers with a high in the mid 50s! Snow levels dropping to near 4,000 feet. Lingering showers possible Saturday night and then clearing with a low near freezing.

Sunny Sunday upper 50s. Near freezing Monday morning with a high in the upper 60s.
