Arizona is bracing for the arrival of the first two storms this season, set to impact the state with a mix of rain, snow, and gusty winds starting today. Meteorologists expect significant precipitation across many areas, particularly in the higher elevations. According to the National Weather Service, rain will begin in the lower valleys and can be expected to transition into snow in the mountainous regions as temperatures drop. The storms are anticipated to last several days, with some areas forecasted to receive over 2 inches of rain. The Phoenix metropolitan area can expect around 0.5 to 1 inch of rain today, with heavier amounts possible into the weekend. “We urge residents to prepare for hazardous driving conditions, especially in mountainous regions where snowfall could reach as much as 6 inches or more,” said meteorologist Jason Willis. The storms are not only expected to bring heavy precipitation but also gusty winds, which could lead to power outages and downed trees in some regions. Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts and prepare for potential impacts as the weather system progresses.
