PHOENIX — It’s an ABC15 Weather Action Day as widespread Valley rain and high country snow create hazardous conditions for the morning commute. Be prepared for wet roads in the Valley and avoid high-country travel if possible as snow-covered roads and low visibility will make for dangerous driving.
In the Valley, expect showers to continue the afternoon and evening with a few isolated thunderstorms. Rain should taper off between 6-8 p.m.
In the high country, snow levels will range between 4,500 and 5,000 feet, with an additional 2 to 5 inches of snowfall expected along the Mogollon Rim by this evening.
So far this season, Flagstaff has only recorded 10.2 inches of snow before this storm, as of 11 this morning Flagstaff has measured 10.1" with snow still falling.
Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for the Kaibab Plateau, Mogollon Rim, parts of the Navajo Nation, and southeastern Arizona's higher terrain. Expect snow-packed roads, reduced visibility, and gusty winds, which could knock down tree branches.
This storm will clear out by the weekend, with temperatures soaring into the upper 70s by Sunday.
However, another storm system could arrive by Tuesday, bringing cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and another round of rain and snow.
Stay tuned for updates as we track its development!
