Flagstaff, AZ – Snowfall blanketed roads near Jacob Lake early Wednesday, creating hazardous travel conditions on SR89 just before Thanksgiving.
The National Weather Service reported snowfall in northern Arizona, impacting key travel routes, including SR89, while rain is expected elsewhere. Travelers are urged to proceed with caution, as slick roads and reduced visibility may persist through the day. The heaviest snowfall is expected north of the Mogollon Rim, with temperatures plunging to the low 20s tonight.
Thanksgiving Day promises clear skies and highs around 46°F, but frigid overnight lows will maintain the risk of icy conditions.
