PHOENIX — The forecast continues to warm for Sunday afternoon as Valley temperatures climb into the upper 60s tomorrow.
By late Sunday night, our next winter storm will be approaching from the west. This one is set to bring more rain and snow to Arizona, along with another big drop in temperatures.
Winds will start to pick up on Sunday with gusts near 40 mph across northern Arizona.
Here in the Valley, expect breezes at times (especially Monday) with peak wind gusts near 25 mph.
Temperatures will drop nearly 10 degrees for the start of next week as the cold air with this storm moves in.
As rain and snow fall across our state on Monday and Tuesday, we'll be in ABC15 Weather Action Mode.
This is our reminder to you that the weather will be significantly impacting travel and outdoor activities across our state and you may need to adjust your plans.
Early precipitation estimates show that the Valley could see a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain on Monday and Tuesday.
Up north, the snow level could go as low as 4,000 feet and our highest elevations like Flagstaff could pick up anywhere from four to eight inches of snow late Sunday night through Tuesday morning.
