Flagstaff, AZ – Snow is expected to return across northern Arizona late Monday evening, with travel impacts possible through Tuesday morning, especially in higher elevations around Flagstaff and along key corridors like I-40 and I-17.
According to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff, rain showers Monday will transition into snow by late evening, with snow levels dropping to around 6,000 to 6,500 feet overnight. Areas above that elevation—including Flagstaff, Williams, and parts of Coconino County—could see light accumulations ranging from a trace up to 2 inches, with locally higher totals in persistent bands.
The timing of the system could create slick conditions for early Tuesday commuters. Untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses may become icy, particularly before sunrise when temperatures are lowest. Drivers traveling along Interstate 40 near Flagstaff or Interstate 17 through higher terrain should plan for reduced speeds and possible minor delays.
Forecasters say the snow will taper off by Tuesday morning, but lingering moisture and cold temperatures could keep some roadways hazardous into the mid-morning hours. No major closures are expected at this time, but conditions can change quickly depending on snowfall intensity overnight.
Residents are advised to slow down, use caution on untreated surfaces, and dress for colder conditions as temperatures dip overnight.
