Christmas Chill: Embrace the Season’s Slowdown

Arizonians can expect a mix of weather on Christmas Day, with a cold front bringing potential light rain and snow showers, particularly in northern areas and at elevations above 6,500 feet. While the northern stretch of the state may experience these conditions, most regions will enjoy a mostly sunny holiday with cooler, seasonal temperatures.

On Thursday, isolated showers might persist in Northern Arizona. However, a shift in weather patterns will bring high pressure and a warming trend just in time for the final weekend of the year.

Here’s a look at the seven-day forecast:

TUESDAY: 77°F / 52°F – Clouds increase, warm.

CHRISTMAS DAY: 70°F / 51°F – Mostly sunny, cooler.

THURSDAY: 67°F / 46°F – Partly sunny, cooler, with rain & snow in northern regions.

FRIDAY: 69°F / 45°F – Partly sunny.

SATURDAY: 72°F / 46°F – Partly sunny.

SUNDAY: 74°F / 46°F – Mostly sunny.

MONDAY: 75°F / 47°F – Sunny, pleasant.
