Flagstaff, Arizona – The winter storm is expected to bring heavy snow and strong winds to northern Arizona, with dangerous travel conditions expected by Thursday night.
Snowfall begins early Thursday with accumulation of 3 to 6 inches in western Mogoronlim, including Flagstaff, Williams and Man’s Park. The wind protrudes between 40-50 mph, potentially knocking down tree branches, reducing visibility. The storm is expected to affect commute Thursday mornings.
On the Kaibab Plateau, which includes Jacoblake and Fredonia, snow begins late Wednesday and continues until Thursday night, accumulating 6,500 feet 5-10 inches above. Gusts of wind up to 45 mph can cause snow blowing and dangerous road conditions.
Drivers are advised to check carefully az511.gov For road closures. Snowy roads and ice overpasses can make travel dangerous, and low visibility can make driving even more complicated.
Officials recommend delaying travel if possible and preparing for winter conditions with extra blankets, meals and emergency supplies. The storm is expected to clear until late Thursday night.
