PHOENIX — We are tracking a storm system passing to our north that's picking up winds and bringing a chance for rain and snow showers to northern Arizona.
Areas north of I-40 could see anywhere from a tenth to a quarter inch of rain on Wednesday.
Snow levels will drop to around 6,500 feet by Wednesday evening, which could bring a light dusting of snow to Flagstaff.
Our forecast will stay dry here in the Valley, but clouds will continue to move in and temperatures will drop a few degrees.
Highs will top out in the mid to upper 70s across the Phoenix metro area on Wednesday, putting us a few degrees above normal for this time of year.
The storm system will clear out by Thanksgiving, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies expected statewide.
Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid-70s in the Valley, mid-50s in Prescott and mid-40s in Flagstaff on Thanksgiving day.
We'll gradually warm up over the weekend and into early next week. Phoenix could be flirting with the 80s again by Monday.
Typically, the last 80-degree day of the year falls around November 24, but last year our last 80-degree day didn't happen until December 17. The latest 80-degree day ever recorded was December 30, 1980.
