NWS Warns Driving Conditions Will be Dangerous in Northern Arizona Due to Snow and Wind

2/21/2023 - 7:55 pm

The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed three storm systems starting Tuesday night through Sunday in Coconino County, with possibly more storms next week.

The NWS is warning of treacherous driving conditions overnight Tuesday through 11 p.m. on Wednesday. Snow accumulations will be extreme with wind gusts of 60-70 mph, sustained winds of 40-50 mph, and intense cross winds. Visibility may be one-half mile at times and there may be possible white outs.

Travelers outside of Northern Arizona are advised to avoid driving on highways and interstates towards Flagstaff and surrounding communities as there may be long closures. Now is not the time for snow play in Coconino County.

For those that must travel, please be sure to carry an adequate emergency car kit.

Ready.gov has storm preparation information in many languages.
