FORECAST: Tracking another winter storm!

PHOENIX — Another winter storm system will impact Arizona late Thursday into early Friday, bringing more rain, snow and wind.

Rain and snow showers are already moving into northwestern Arizona this afternoon and those will continue to move east in the overnight hours.

Winter Weather Advisories are in effect across Mohave County, the Grand Canyon, Prescott, and parts of the Mogollon Rim. Roads will likely become slick and hazardous. Travel could be very difficult along I-40 between Kingman and Flagstaff.

Winter Storm Warnings are in effect late Thursday evening until Friday morning for areas above 6,500 feet in elevation across the high country. This includes Flagstaff, the Kaibab Plateau, where an additional four to eight inches of snow could fall.

Winds will pick up, too.

Wind Advisories are in effect starting this evening across Mohave County and the southern part of Apache County. Peak gusts in these areas could exceed 40 mph.

Here in the Valley, we could wind gusts over 25 mph and up to a tenth of an inch of rain in some neighborhoods in the overnight hours leading into Friday morning. The rest of the day Friday looks dry.

With high pressure building back in this weekend, we’re tracking another big warm-up.

Expect highs back in the 80s here in the Valley starting Sunday.
