PHOENIX — Rain and snow are moving through Arizona as another winter storm hits.
While we may see a few more showers on the northern and eastern fringes of the Phoenix metro area overnight, most of the Valley will stay dry.
Snow will continue to fall across the high country, mainly above 4,500 feet in elevation.
Snowfall accumulations will likely be less than an inch for spots between 4,500 feet and 5,500 feet. For areas above 5,500 feet, there's a chance for one to four inches of snow through Thursday morning.
We're also getting a big cool-down with this storm. Temperatures have dropped 10 to 20 degrees across our state today.
Valley highs are only reaching the low 60s, putting us near 10 degrees below normal.
It will get chilly overnight, too. Most Valley locations will be in the low to mid 40s by sunrise Thursday.
Temperatures will rebound across our state by the end of the week as we dry out again.
Here in Phoenix, look for highs in the low 70s Friday and mid to upper 70s over the weekend.
