PHOENIX — Another big storm is moving through Arizona with high winds, rain, and snow.
We're in ABC15 Weather Action mode through Wednesday as this storm impacts travel and outdoor activities across Arizona.
Snow, icy roads and even flooding could lead to hazardous travel across the high country. You may need to adjust your travel plans and make sure you have an emergency kit in the car with water, blankets and flashlights.
Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for Mohave County and Coconino County (near Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon) through Wednesday.
Snow levels will drop to near 5,000 feet by Wednesday morning behind the cold front moving in with this storm.
Flagstaff, and other areas above 6,500 feet in elevation, could could pick up another four to six inches of snow by Wednesday afternoon.
Here in the Valley, many cities could pick up an additional tenth to quarter of an inch of rain in some neighborhoods through Wednesday morning.
One to two inches of rain is possible over the higher terrain to our north and east, even including some of our foothills locations.
The rain combined with ongoing runoff from snow melt in the high country will enhance the threat of flooding.
Multiple rivers and creeks in our state are under Flood Warnings as water levels have risen in those areas, and flooding will continue to pose a threat to nearby communities.
Flood Watches are in effect through Wednesday for the northern and eastern portions of Maricopa and Pinal Counties, as well as the lower elevations of Yavapai and Gila Counties. Parts of Mohave County are also under this alert.
High winds are an issue with this storm, too.
Wind Advisories remain in effect for most of northern and eastern Arizona where wind gusts could still reach 45 to 50 mph on Wednesday.
Valley winds will peak Wednesday morning before easing up the rest of the day.
We're also getting another dose of cool air with this storm. Valley highs will fall into the mid to upper 60s through midweek.
We'll dry out across the Valley by Wednesday evening and it looks like we'll stay dry through the weekend as the chance for snow showers continues along the Mogollon Rim.
