PHOENIX — More rain and snow is coming to Arizona!
We're tracking a storm system set to move in on Wednesday night and another one on the way this weekend.
Rain and snow could arrive in Mohave County as early as Wednesday afternoon as a cold front pushes in from the northwest.
That front will continue to swing east across our state Wednesday night bringing rain to the Valley and snow to the high country.
Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for much of northern Arizona, eastern Arizona and along the Mogollon Rim from Wednesday evening until Thursday morning. Areas above 5,000 feet in elevation could see two to six inches of snow.
Here in the Valley, scattered rain showers could bring up to a tenth of an inch of rain to some neighborhoods.
We'll also get a big dose of cooler air, dropping Valley highs into the upper 50s to low 60s on Thursday and Friday.
Our forecast will stay dry heading into the weekend, but another storm will move in on Sunday. Winds will pick up, temperatures will drop and more rain and snow will fall.
Early estimates indicate around a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain for some Valley locations and four to eight inches of snow for parts of the high country. These estimates can, and likely will change as we get closer to the storm's arrival, so stay tuned for updates in the days ahead.
As colder air settles in behind this storm, we could see the first freezes of the season for some Valley locations on Tuesday morning.
