PHOENIX — A winter storm is moving through and it's bringing more winds, rain and snow to Arizona.
All wind-related advisories have expired, but parts of the Valley dealt with 40+ mph gusts this evening, producing widespread blowing dust.
Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect for areas from the Mogollon Rim to the White Mountains and up to the Four Corners through tonight.
Snow levels will drop to around 4,000 feet with most spots picking up one to four inches of snow with this storm. The Flagstaff area could pick up two to four inches of snow, but as much as four to eight inches are possible over the highest peaks in our state.
A few spotty showers or thunderstorms are possible in the Phoenix area, but most will stay dry with less than a tenth of an inch of rainfall expected in those spots that do get rain.
This storm clears out early Friday and we'll dry out across Arizona as we head into the weekend.
Valley highs reach the low 70s today and Friday but high pressure sends temperatures back into the 80s by Sunday.
