PHOENIX — Rain chances are gradually winding down after a stretch of unsettled weather across Arizona. In the Valley, a few spotty showers are still possible through the morning commute, with isolated activity lingering into the afternoon. Some neighborhoods could receive up to a tenth of an inch of rain today. Snow levels remain very high, near 9,000 feet, so only the tallest peaks will see snow. Even Flagstaff is expected to get rain instead of snow with this system.

PHOENIX — Showers and thunderstorms have been impacting parts of the Valley since Sunday and there are still chances for more in the forecast. Tuesday is an ABC15 Weather Action Day as a reminder to take action and get ready for more rain. You may need to adjust outdoor plans or give yourself a bit of extra time to get around town in the rain. Downpours could lead to slick roads at times. We're also expecting gusty winds, lightning, and chances for small hail with some of these storms.
