Chances for rain on the way!

PHOENIX — It’s been a warm start to the week, but cooler air is on the way!

Clouds are moving in and there’s a slight chance of a few light showers in parts of our state today ahead of our next storm.

Cooler air will move in on Friday as that storm system approaches from the west. That could bring more rain and snow showers to parts of the state, too.

The snow level will be around 7,000 feet in elevation, so only the highest elevations will get any.

Here in the Valley, rain chances begin early Friday morning and last through much of the day. Some neighborhoods could get up to a tenth of an inch of rain.

High pressure will briefly return over the weekend, drying things out and warming us back into the upper 70s by Sunday.

Then, a stronger storm system will move in from the west early next week. That one could bring more measurable rain to the Valley and snow to areas over 6,000 feet in elevation.

We’ll keep you posted on this one as we get closer.
