Arizona weather forecast: Rain in the Valley, snow in the High Country on Valentine's Day

4 p.m. Weather Forecast - 2/14/25

A snowstorm blankets the high country as the Valley is graced with highs in the low 70s.

Our winter storm is making its way through the state on Valentine's Day!

Rain, snow falling in Arizona

What To Expect:

Thursday began dry with increasing clouds through the first half of the day, but by late afternoon and into the evening, the storm system supplied more ample moisture, bringing rain and snow to Arizona. This system will bring widespread rain/snow overnight and into Friday, too.

Snow totals from 5-10" fell in and around Flagstaff, with accumulating snow generally falling above 6,500-7,000 feet, especially in west and central northern Arizona. Northeastern Arizona will also see snow, but because it arrives later, and the total event is shorter, totals may be lower in spots.

Over a foot of snow and 6-12" is possible for Sunrise.

Winds will again increase on Friday with the strongest gusts expected in northern Arizona. In the Valley, rain chances will increase by 20-30% by early Thursday evening. After a lull, another round of showers will be possible which should be more widespread across the Valley on Friday morning from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m.

While the steadiest rain/snow will fall from Thursday night through Friday morning, scattered, lighter rain and snow showers will be possible through the afternoon and early evening in northern Arizona. An isolated shower will still be possible in the Valley through the day and early evening. However, it appears shower chances will mostly diminish in time for Valentine's plans Friday night.

Winter weather clearing out this weekend

Looking Further Ahead:

It will quickly dry out and warm up across the state this weekend. Highs around 70 are forecast for Saturday in the Valley and the middle 70s are expected by Sunday.

Into next week, the 80s may return to the forecast.
