Scattered rain and snow showers will continue today. We could still see a few thunderstorms in the mix, too.

Parts of the Valley could see up to a quarter of an inch of rain by the time this system clears out.

Up north, the snow level is dropping to around 5,000 feet with the potential of one to four inches of snow for areas along the Mogollon Rim.

The bulk of the snow will fall on today, making for hazardous travel conditions in the high country.

Winds will remain stronger through the weekend, too. Gusts could again hit 35 mph here in the Valley today.

Up north, peak gusts could topping 45 mph across parts of northern Arizona.

Those winds are ushering in a big dose of cool air, too. Temperatures have dropped 10 to 15 degrees, putting Valley highs for today in the upper 60s.

Our weather pattern will remain fairly unsettled next week. Another storm system could increase rain and snow chances again on Tuesday with a third storm impacting northern Arizona on Thursday.

Stay tuned for updates on these storms as we get closer.
