PHOENIX — It's an ABC15 Weather Action Day as another winter storm impacts road travel, events and outdoor activities across Arizona!

Travel is not recommended across the high country overnight into Friday morning. If you do have to travel, make sure to have at least a half tank of gas and an emergency kit in the car.

Another quick-moving system will move in Friday evening, keeping rain and snow chances in the forecast through Saturday.

Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect across much of the high country. Widespread totals of six to 12 inches of snow are expected for areas above 6,000 feet in elevation. Flagstaff could get even more with up to 18 inches in the forecast through Saturday.

High winds will lead to blowing snow and low visibility across the high country, too.

The snow level will fall to around 3,500 to 4,500 feet which could bring a light dusting of snow to the higher elevations just north and east of the Valley.

Across the Phoenix metro area, showers and thunderstorms already moved through Thursday afternoon and evening bringing a quarter to a half of an inch of rain to many neighborhoods.

We could see another round of rain on Friday afternoon and evening, too. That could bring another tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain to the Valley.

These back-to-back storms will clear out late Saturday. Then, high pressure will return sending Valley temperatures back into the 80s by Monday.

We're also tracking another storm system moving in on Tuesday with more wind, rain and snow across parts of our state. Stay tuned for updates on this one as we get closer.
