PHOENIX — We remain in ABC15 Weather Action Mode as we continue to track significant impacts to outdoor activities and road travel across Arizona.
Another storm system is moving into Arizona overnight, bringing more rain and snow to our state.
Scattered rain showers will continue to move through the Phoenix metro area and we may even see a few thunderstorms in the mix.
Parts of the Valley could pick up an additional quarter to three quarters of an inch of rain through early Tuesday morning.
It will be a much cooler week in Phoenix, too. Valley highs will only reach the mid to upper 50s each day, putting us nearly 10 degrees below normal for this time of year.
Up north, hazardous travel conditions continue with heavy snow and areas of blowing snow and low visibility.
Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday night for areas above 5,500 feet. We could see an additional six to twelve inches of snow in some spots, including the Flagstaff area, with nearly two feet still possible over some of the highest peaks.
Winds will continue to be an issue, too. Gusts in the Valley will top out near 25 mph, with gusts closer to 40 mph possible in northern Arizona.
The rain and the snow will clear out by Wednesday, but we're already tracking another storm that could bring more rain and snow our way late Thursday and Friday.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
