MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Brief warm-up before winter storms arrive

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — We’re enjoying a brief warm-up before more winter storms impact the state.

Today, temperatures will climb, with the Valley reaching the mid 80s.

Next up, a winter storm moves in Tuesday night and lingers into Wednesday morning. This system will bring a sharp drop in temperatures, gusty winds, and the potential for rain and snow.

The Valley could see between 0.10 and 0.30 inches of rain, while snow levels will fall to 6,000-6,500 feet in the high country. Accumulations will be light, with most areas near Flagstaff, the Rim, and the White Mountains picking up an inch or less.

Looking ahead, an even stronger storm arrives late in the week, ushering in colder temperatures. Expect more rain in the Valley and a greater chance of accumulating snow in the high country, especially from Thursday into Friday morning.

Stay tuned for updates as we refine snowfall and rainfall totals!
