Arizona Weather Force has issued the final forecast for a system that will enter the forecast area on this evening, maximizing overnight and into Sunday. Rain, Wind, and Snow models have been finalized.
A few pointers on this one. This is also a thunderstorm watch for the locations specified on the graphic within this write-up. Some of these thunderstorms will be in the higher elevation zones, so I would bet on thundersnow. Thundersnow is when it is snowing, along with thunderstorms.
