Arizona weather forecast: Rain possible later this week for Phoenix

4 p.m. Weather Forecast - 3/4/25

PHOENIX - An active week of weather ahead!

After a storm brought snow and rain to the state on Monday, we're already tracking our next chance for wet weather.

Today and Tomorrow:

Tuesday and Wednesday will remain dry with sunshine on Tuesday and skies turning cloudy on Wednesday.

Tuesday warmed to the low 70s in Phoenix.

By Wednesday, Valley highs will reach the mid to upper 70s. On both days the winds will remain lighter, too.

Looking Ahead:

However, a new storm system will push against the West Coast from Thursday into Friday. As it moves inland, it will push colder air, windy conditions, and rain/snow showers into Arizona.

It appears two rounds of rain/snow will move through the state. The first round is expected to begin to the Northwest on Wednesday night and progress across Arizona through Thursday morning. The Valley will dry out during the day with lingering rain/snow showers for Northern Arizona on Thursday. Gusts increase Thursday as high temperatures slip back into the 60s in the Valley. The first round of rain and snow will be faster moving, but may still pack a punch at some of the highest elevations.

The next round will move across the state Thursday evening through Friday night. This round moves slower, is more widespread, and could bring some heavier periods of precipitation. Again, it will be windy and cooler with highs only in the upper 50s and low 60s in the Valley. While too early for exact snow totals, it appears likely Flagstaff will pick up several inches, at least, of snow. Area ski parks could see up to a foot or more, again.

The wet weather exits in time for the weekend! Highs return to the 70s on Saturday and Sunday with sunny conditions expected throughout the state.
