Snow level will hover between 5,000 and 6,000 feet on Friday.

Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect along the Mogollon Rim, the Kaibab Plateau and in the White Mountains through tonight. Areas above 5,500 feet in elevation could see an additional one to four inches of snow. Flagstaff could pick up another inch of snow before this storm system clears out.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect in northeastern Arizona for the Chuska Mountains and Defiance Plateau. Window Rock could get one to two inches of snow, but we could see a foot or more at Buffalo Pass.

Areas around the Valley picked up anywhere from around a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rainfall Thursday night and early Friday morning, but rain chances are trending down the rest of the day.

While a stray shower is still possible through midday, clouds will clear and we'll dry out in the Valley by Friday.

Aside from the ongoing snow showers up north, you can expect more breezes and cooler conditions around the state today.

Gusts could hit 20 mph in the Valley and 25 mph across parts of the high country.

The cooler air with this storm will drop Valley highs into the mid 60s today and Saturday.

Temperatures will gradually rebound next week. Phoenix could hit the 80s again by Tuesday!
