Beautiful views across Arizona from this weekend's storm!

Not much rain in the Valley from it, but several inches of snow fell across the high country.

Check out the view from ABC15 viewer Dick McBlane in Pinetop.

Big spike in particle pollution expected Wednesday morning in the Valley!

Worst air quality will be in south-central areas of the #Phoenix metro.

Limit your outdoor activities in the morning, especially if you have any respiratory conditions like asthmas, bronchitis or COPD.

Our Valley forecast just keeps getting warmer!

#Phoenix hit 77° today, putting us only 2° below the record.

78° is in the forecast now for Wednesday and Thursday, but I wouldn't be surprise if we inched up into the 80s for the first time this year.

Warmest December on record in Phoenix!

Overall average temperature of 63.2° breaks the previous record set just last year of 62.3°.

Why? It's a combination of warming from greenhouse gases, our expanding urban heat island and La Niña.

More nights in the 60s than ever before!

December 2025 is climbing up the ranks in the top 10 list for warmest on record!

With more daily heat records in jeopardy before Christmas too, there's no doubt this will go down as one of the warmest Decembers on record in Phoenix.
