Weather changes arrive when winter storms go to Arizona today

On February 13, 2025By Littum

Phoenix (Azfamily) – Look for major weather changes in Arizona over the next 48 hours as a winter storm pushes into the state from the west.

The clouds become thicker today throughout the state as atmospheric moisture moves into the state. Look for mostly cloudy sky in the valley this afternoon and a high temperature of 70 degrees.

Rain and snow spread from west to east over the state later today. There is a small chance of rain in the valley tonight with a better chance of widespread showers tomorrow morning. Preputy plots appear to be light, generally about one -tenth of an inch in the valley, with higher heights just north and east of the city, gathering closer to a quarter inch.

Friday will also be a first alarm day with rain in the forecast and local windy weather.

The winter storm is likely to be more marked in the State Mountains, with decent snowfall starting today and continues Friday. Snow levels will swing, making it difficult to determine exactly how much snow could fall.

Snow levels should start today near 6,000 feet, but climb to 7,000 feet this afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon they were to fall back to 6,000 feet. With this in mind, areas between 6,500 feet and 7,500 feet will look 4-8 inches of snow. Areas over 7,500 feet could see much more, while communities under 6,000 feet should mainly see rain.

The snow winds down for northern Arizona late Friday night, with only a few snow showers back on Saturday morning in eastern Arizona. A winter storm warning starts at noon today for the Kaibab plateau. A winter weather counseling begins or the mogollon edge at. 18 and continues through 7 p.m. 18 tomorrow.

Valley Rain should come to an end by Friday night, with dry and warmer conditions expected for Presidents’ Day weekend to come. Expect afternoon temperatures in the low 70s on Saturday, mid -70s Sunday and the top 70s Monday.
