Winter storm moves toward Arizona

On February 12, 2025By Littum

Phoenix (Azfamily) – A major change in weather patterns will bring cooler temperatures along with rain and snow chances to large parts of Arizona over the next few days.

After two days in the 70s, the valley will see a fall to heights in the mid -60s today. The Phoenix area remains dry, but a few snow showers are possible at the higher heights today as a weak storm rolls through our area. In general, win should be lighter than what most parts of the state saw on Tuesday.

A more potent winter storm arrives at the state tomorrow, which significantly affects our region on Friday. Low pressure system brings a chance of snow showers to the high country all day Thursday with off-and-on-on-rain and snow in mountain communities as the snow level swings all day.

Changing snow levels make forecasts to do. In general, areas over 7,000 feet generally should see 3 to 7 inches of snow between Thursday and Friday with 8 to 15 inches possibly over 8,000 feet.

The majority of the rain with this system will move on Thursday night and Friday in the valley. Look for a 30 percent chance of rain on Thursday night and a 70 percent chance of showers Friday, especially in the morning hours.

Up to a quarter of an empty rain is possible in the Phoenix Metro area with up to half an inch possible at the foot of areas northeast of the city. Friday will be a first alarm day over Arizona.

Thursday to Saturday, look for heights in the low 70s in the valley. High pressure brings the return of dry conditions this holiday debt. Temperatures are also likely to heat for the mid -70s on Sunday and to the top 70s on the day of presidents.
