PHOENIX — After a day full of the wet stuff falling across most of the state Tuesday, the Valley received some more Wednesday. Up north, the rain turned to snow.
The rain started to transition into snow in the Flagstaff area a little before 5 p.m. Wednesday. Flagstaff could see up to 9 inches of snow with this storm that will last through Thursday.
The ski resorts in Arizona could receive nearly two feet of snow.
In the Valley, we'll see some spotty showers Thursday morning as we begin to dry out. Most of the rain should be to the north and east of Phoenix by Thursday afternoon.

Rainfall totals in Phoenix from this stormy event could top all of Monsoon 2019. There were multiple reports of flooding and hail on Wednesday, especially to the north of Phoenix.

People in Flagstaff have also been getting ready for the first snow of the season. Evan Reimondo stopped by HomCo Lumber and Hardware Wednesday morning to pick up essentials like snowmelt, salt, and a water heater cover.
“Trying to stay on top of it, hopefully stay ahead of it because the first snow usually catches you off guard a little bit,” Reimondo said.
But overall, people are hopeful to have moisture back in the High Country.
“I’m excited for the snow to come, it’s that season and it’s been dry for a long time,” Dustin Phillips said.
