Overnight temperatures around the Valley varied, but all of it was cold. Phoenix suburbs were hit with temps in the upper 20s, while the Phoenix metro was close to freezing.
Phoenix National Weather Service meteorologist Ted Whittock says to expect the cold to stay throughout the week.
“Our current forecast low on Friday is 34 [degrees] at Sky Harbor. Although it is possible that we might flirt with freezing, right now we’re forecasting it to be just above," Whittock said.
A freeze warning is in effect for Wednesday morning, Jan. 10, until 9 a.m. Friday is expected to have similar morning temperatures as Tuesday.
The cold front brought below-freezing temperatures to northern Arizona early Tuesday, with the National Weather Service reporting a -17 degrees reading at Snowbowl.
