PHOENIX — Another winter storm is moving into Arizona overnight!
Snow levels could go as low as 3,500 feet by Friday morning, putting snow on the mountains just north and east of Phoenix.
Winter Weather Advisories are in effect across much of northern Arizona as snow and gusty winds led to dangerous travel conditions tonight.
Another three to five inches of snow is possible in areas above 6,000 feet in elevation, including Flagstaff.
For spots between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, snowfall totals will end up in the one to four inch range. This includes Prescott, Payson, Sedona, Heber, Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside.
Here in the Valley, there is only a slight chance of a few spotty showers and less than a tenth of an inch of rain is possible overnight into Friday.
Our forecast will dry out again over the weekend with afternoon temperatures staying in the 50s.
Then, another storm system will be moving in early next week. Stay tuned for updates on that one as we get closer.
