After record-breaking heat, Arizona is cooling down to more normal late March temperatures.
Meteorologist Alicia Ryan is with the National Weather Service in Phoenix. She says temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid-80s this weekend, with cloud coverage mitigating temperatures.
“Our normal is typically looking around like 81 to 82. We’re hovering around 84, 85 right now so we’re still slightly above but we’re starting to trend down a little bit from earlier this week. From that 99 and mid 90s," Ryan said.
The high country also is cooling down from its hotter temperatures seen earlier this week. Windy conditions are expected as well as typical temperatures in the 50s.
