Our weather pattern begins to shift throughout the day.A trough and storm system begins to run inland from the Pacific today. This system will move north of Arizona, and drag more mild air into our region.
At the same time, a quick-moving cold front will clip by our state and help to increase our winds and cloud coverage. A round of wet weather is expected to pass through our state as the front approaches, too.We'll begin to see increased showers and storms over parts of Northern, Western and eventually, Eastern Arizona.
