Arizona
Winter storm moving toward Arizona
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A major weather pattern change will bring cooler temperatures along with rain and snow chances to much of Arizona over the next couple of days.
After two days in the 70s, the Valley will see a drop to highs in the mid-60s today. The Phoenix area will stay dry, but a few snow showers are possible in the higher elevations today as a weak storm rolls through our area. Overall, winds should be lighter than what most parts of the state saw on Tuesday.
A more potent winter storm arrives in the state tomorrow, significantly impacting our region on Friday. The low-pressure system will bring a chance of snow showers to the high country throughout the day Thursday, with off-and-on rain and snow in mountain communities as snow levels fluctuate throughout the day.
Changing snow levels makes forecasting amounts challenging to do. Still, in general, areas above 7,000 feet should see 3 to 7 inches of snow between Thursday and Friday, with 8 to 15 inches possibly above 8,000 feet.
The bulk of the rain with this system will move in Thursday night and Friday in the Valley. Look for a 30 percent chance of rain Thursday evening and a 70 percent chance of showers Friday, especially during the morning hours.
Up to a quarter inch of rain is possible in the Phoenix metro area, with up to a half inch possible in foothill areas northeast of town. Friday will be a First Alert weather day across Arizona.
Thursday through Saturday, look for highs in the low 70s in the Valley. High pressure brings the return of dry conditions this holiday weekend. Temperatures are also likely to warm to the mid-70s on Sunday and to the upper 70s on Presidents Day.

Calais Campbell and Jalen Thompson crack the top 101 NFL free agents for 2026.
NFL free agency begins in a couple of weeks. Teams can begin to negotiate with players whose contracts will expire beginning on March 9, and the new league year officially begins on March 11.
The Arizona Cardinals will be active in free agency, and they have players who will likely sign elsewhere.
NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal put together a list of the top 101 free agents who should be available, and two impending Cardinals free agents make the list — defensive lineman Calais Campbell and safety Jalen Thompson.
No. 52 DL Calais Campbell
There’s no official word about whether Campbell will retire. It’s outrageous how he continually winds up being the best defensive lineman — or close to it — on every team he joins, with his 40th birthday (Sept. 1) now on the horizon.
Campbell was productive enough in 2025 to be able to get another job, which Campbell is proud of. There will be interest. He had 6.5 sacks, tied for the most he has had in a season since 2018.
It will be a case of whether or not Campbell wants to play again in 2026, and where he is willing to play.
No. 73: S Jalen Thompson
Thompson just finished an effective stint on a three-year, $36 million extension in Arizona. He’d be better known if he played anywhere else.
Thompson will likely land somewhere on a decent deal, but he has been pretty ordinary the last two seasons. He has not had an interception since 2023.

Arizona men’s basketball’s wins over BYU and Houston last week have the Wildcats in pole position for a number one seed, but they weren’t quite enough to move the UA back to the top of Associated Press poll.
Arizona is ranked No. 2 in this week’s AP top 25, behind No. 1 Duke. Arizona received five first-place votes to Duke’s 56.
Michigan is ranked No. 3 following its loss to Duke. Behind the Wolverines are the two Big 12 programs trailing Arizona in the conference standings: No. 4 Iowa State and No. 5 Houston.
Other Big 12 programs ranked this week are No. 14 Kansas, No. 16 Texas Tech and No. 23 BYU.
Arizona is the top 5 for the 15th consecutive week, tied for the 3rd-longest streak in school history. The longest is 25 in a row, across the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.
The Wildcats are back in action Tuesday when they take on Baylor in Waco, Texas at 7 p.m. MST on ESPN2.
The 2026 league year is coming next month. It officially begins on March 11, with the legal negotiating period beginning on March 9.
The Arizona Cardinals have many roster decisions to make before then.

Leading up to the new league year, we will profile every player on the roster, go over what they did last season, what their contract status is and what they face in 2026.
Next up is running back Bam Knight.
2025 Bam Knight season
Knight was the surprise of the preseason. He played well in the preseason and stood out in training camp, earning a spot on the active roster, leading to DeeJay Dallas getting released.
He ended up playing in 12 games and became the starting running back after the injuries to James conner and Trey Benson. He started eight and finished the season with 269 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 3.3 yards per attempt. He also had 22 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown.

He finished the season on injured reserve.
Bam Knight contract status
Knight’s contract expires and he will be a restricted free agent. The Cardinals can give him a restricted free agent tender that will pay him well and maintain his rights.
The lowest tender is more than $3.5 million.
Bam Knight offseason outlook
With a new coaching staff, it is uncertain whether there will be interest in bringing him back. We should not expect him to be tendered.
However, he does have experience with new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur. Knight’s rookie year in 2022 was with the New York Jets, where LaFleur was offensive coordinator. Knight had 300 rushing yards that season in seven games.
