Grab your hooded coat or an umbrella today. The National Weather Service reports those clouds overhead are the beginning edge of a new storm front coming in with wind gusts of 25 miles per hour around the Valley. 

Meteorologist Travis Wilson says central California is taking the brunt of it now.

“It’s coming from the Pacific, and it’s slowly progressing its way eastward.  It will eventually hit us tomorrow or even late tonight, begin seeing showers, but that would be extremely late tonight and early tomorrow morning,” Wilson said.

Snow is already falling above Flagstaff and will drop to the 6,500 foot level by today.  The storm should push through by late Sunday.

Wilson predicts about an inch of rain will hit the Valley over the two days, and about a half-foot of snow will fall in the Flagstaff region.
