If you have hatches you might want to batten them down. A Winter Storm is barreling our way with gusty winds today and tonight and rain and low mountain snow tonight into tomorrow morning. The storm has slowed slightly which is good news for rain and snowfall amounts. Those expected values have been bumped up slightly. The other big news is the snow level. How low will it go before the storm moves on Wednesday? The National Weather Service has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY above 4,500 feet starting at 11:00 tonight until 11:00 tomorrow morning, so be advised, there will be Winter weather. Up to 3 inches of snow possible between 4,500 – 6,000 feet and 4 to 8 inches above 7,000 feet. Rain in valley locations expected between .15″ – .30″ ish for most of us. The snow level is expected to go as low as 3,500 feet Wednesday morning, so it’s completely possible that Catalina and Corona de Tucson could see some snow falling, but not expecting any accumulations. Saddlebrooke and Vail maybe?! After the storm blows through tonight and tomorrow we’ll see a warm up Thursday through Saturday and then a little cooler Sunday and Monday.
