WMPO: Taking a look at the weather this weekend

FOX 10 Meteorologist Krystal Ortiz has more on how the weather is shaping tonight and over the weekend for those who are attending the WM Phoenix Open.

What's next:

A pattern shift is expected next week. While the high will remain in the upper 70s on Monday, by Tuesday the high falls to near average at 70 degrees. The change begins as a trough passes across the Southwest, dragging colder air and more moisture from the north and northwest. By Wednesday and beyond, high temperatures may struggle to climb out of the upper 60s.

For now, it appears possible a couple rounds of rain and snow could move across the state. It's too early to give high confidence to the coverage, exact timing, or totals. However, there's a low chance for Wednesday and Thursday, with a slightly better chance by Friday.

It's been an especially dry fall and winter, so any precipitation will help with current short-term drought conditions. Most of Arizona is now in some level of drought, per the Drought Monitor's latest update.
