Bundle up — it's going to stay cold in Phoenix

It’s been cold across the Valley and it looks like coats will remain the latest desert fashion through the end of the week.

Isaac Smith is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix. 

“I mean these temperatures are below normal for this time of year. So our average low temperature is around 47 degrees and our normal high is 69 degrees," Smith said.

He also says the Valley has been dropping down into the 30s, and in some places, below freezing, which prompted warnings. 

The weekend should be slightly warmer but another front early next week is forecast to bring rain and colder temperatures.
