Big changes are on the way this week as our next storm system moves into Arizona.
With potential impacts to holiday plans and travel across Arizona, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are ABC15 Weather Action Days. Take action and adjust your plans as needed to stay safe in the storm.
The first round of rain will likely arrive after 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Then, rain chances increase even more Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
Some Valley neighborhoods could pick up a quarter to a half an inch of rain, with higher totals possible across parts of northwestern Arizona.
A Flood Watch is in effect for Mohave County Wednesday morning through Thursday morning, where excessive runoff could lead to flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Winds will pick up a bit by Wednesday with gusts near 25 mph in the Valley and up to 30 mph in the high country.
Snow levels with this storm system will remain high at 9,000 to 10,000 feet, so Flagstaff will likely only see rain.
There are some lingering chances for precipitation up there into the weekend, and by then we could see some snow flakes come down as colder air settles in.
Here in the Valley, daytime highs will fall into the low 70s by Friday before dropping into the upper 60s over the weekend…
