PHOENIX — Showers and thunderstorms are firing up in the higher terrain again today as lingering moisture remains over Arizona.
Our Valley forecast should stay dry as temperatures begin to climb.
Valley highs will top out in the low to mid 80s through Saturday, putting us several degrees above normal for this time of year.
Another storm system will bring cooler air our way on Sunday and Monday, with more wind, rain and snow chances too.
Right now, our best chances for rain and snow will be on Sunday.
Some Valley locations could see around a tenth of an inch of rain.
Up north, the snow level will drop to around 5,000 feet with the potential of one to four inches of snow for areas along the Mogollon Rim.
Winds will get stronger through the weekend, too. Gusts could hit 35 mph here in the Valley on Sunday while topping 45 mph across parts of northern Arizona.
Stay tuned for more updates on this storm as we get closer.
