and last updated

PHOENIX — Another ABC15 Weather Action Day is in effect through tonight as a fast-moving winter storm impacts road travel across Arizona.

This system is making its way through overnight, bringing rain and snow chances through Saturday morning. The Valley could see another tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain, while higher elevations brace for additional snowfall.

Rain is expected to push through the Valley through midnight with a few lingering showers through 3 a.m. Most of the rain will wrap for the Valley before sunrise.

Winter Weather Advisories remain in place across much of the high country, with snow levels holding around 4,500 feet. Overnight, Flagstaff could see an additional 2 to 4 inches of snow with higher totals near 4-6 inches in Pinetop.

Travel is highly discouraged in the high country tonight through tomorrow morning. If you must be on the roads, ensure your gas tank is at least half full and have an emergency kit on hand.

Snow showers will linger into the sunrise hours, especially in the White Mountains on Saturday.

This storm clears out by late Saturday, making way for a warm-up into the 80s by Monday as high pressure builds back in.

But we're not done yet! Another storm system is on track for Tuesday, bringing more wind, rain, and snow to parts of the state.
