FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern Arizona residents should prepare for subzero temperatures, light snow, and strong winds as a cold front moves through the region. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports that the greatest impacts will occur along the US 89 corridor from Cameron to Winona into Wednesday morning.
The NWS said patchy snow is expected to fall Tuesday night into early Wednesday, with most areas expected to receive less than an inch of snow. Winds will increase from the northeast, reaching gusts of up to 34 mph in some locations, potentially causing blowing snow and reduced visibility.
Motorists traveling along US 89 are asked to drive carefully, especially on dirt and icy roads. Temperatures will drop to 25 degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday night and remain near freezing Wednesday, so it’s best to dress in layers and avoid prolonged outdoor exposure.
Looking ahead, conditions are expected to improve by Wednesday night, with clear skies and calm winds. Extended forecasts show continued sunshine Thursday through Saturday, with daytime highs in the mid-30s Fahrenheit and rising gradually to near 48 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the week.
