PHOENIX — Another winter storm is moving in!
We're in ABC15 Weather Action mode as rain and snow impact outdoor plans and travel across Arizona, especially overnight and throughout the day on Tuesday.
Take action to get ready for this storm. Keep your umbrellas and rain gear handy if you live here in the desert and keep your snow gear ready to go if you live in the high country.
We could see anywhere from a tenth to nearly four-tenths of an inch of rain in the Valley overnight and Tuesday.
Up north, snow levels will drop to 4,500 feet with this storm.
A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect through noon on Tuesday for areas above 5,000 feet in elevation along the Mogollon Rim.
Flagstaff could pick up an additional one to three inches of snow overnight and Tuesday. Prescott could get one to two inches of snow and places like Payson, Heber, Show Low and Sedona will likely see less than an inch.
Spotty rain and snow showers could continue into early Wednesday morning before this storm clears out.
The cold air with this storm is also sending Valley temperatures down into the 50s on Tuesday.
Then, we'll gradually rebound throughout the rest of the week.
Look for highs back in the mid 60s on Wednesday and Thursday before we climb into the 70s heading into the weekend.
