Arizona weather forecast: Chance for more spotty showers in Phoenix

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

Arizona really is racking up those snow totals!

PHOENIX - Our active weather pattern continues!

While one storm system exits the region, a new one approaches from the West. As a result, we'll see more rain and snow showers on Thursday afternoon and evening. As the next system passes across the state on Friday, additional rain and snow showers are expected through the afternoon and evening. Eventually, that system will slowly pass to the east, with lingering storm activity in eastern Arizona on Saturday.

What To Expect:

On Thursday in the Valley, the rain chance is around 20-30%, with the best chance in the northern half of the Valley. The showers will be spotty and quick-moving, as we saw on Wednesday. It may be breezy again with stronger gusts around any storms that develop. Temperatures will again cap in the upper 60s and lower 70s around Phoenix.

In Flagstaff, scattered snow showers may originally melt during the early afternoon. However, as the day progresses and especially into the evening, new accumulating snow is possible.

The pattern allows for one more day of scattered rain and snow showers on Friday. Areas east and north of the Valley have the best chance for wet weather on Friday, but a few showers are possible in Phoenix, too. Again, highs in Phoenix are only forecast to climb to the low 70s with breezy conditions.

Over the weekend, while lingering snow showers are possible up over the White Mountains, much of the state starts drying out. High temperatures return to near-normal in the low 80s in the Valley. It will be partly to mostly sunny both days in Phoenix.

Several inches of additional accumulating snow will be possible in Flagstaff with considerably higher totals for our area ski resorts. Amounts of 4-8" or more are possible at Arizona Snowbowl (on top of the 12" they've already picked up), and 6-12+" of snow is forecast for the White Mountains. Depending on the location of the low pressure setup on Friday into Saturday, parts of the White Mountains may pick up well above 12".

Next week turns hot! Highs move into the 90s and may touch 100 degrees by late next week.

Looking Ahead:

Next week turns hot! Highs move into the 90s and may touch 100 degrees by late next week.
