Flagstaff, AZ – A mix of rain and snow showers will continue through Sunday morning in the Flagstaff area, potentially impacting local roads and travel, especially along I-40. By mid-morning, the weather is expected to clear, leading into a sunny Monday, with temperatures warming throughout the week.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), there’s a 30% chance of precipitation, including snow, which could cause slick roads during the morning commute. Sunday’s high will hover around 53°F, while gusty winds of up to 15 mph may further reduce visibility for drivers. Motorists are advised to drive with caution, especially in areas prone to icy conditions.

Looking ahead to Monday, Flagstaff can expect clear skies and a high of 62°F, with calm winds of 5 mph. By Wednesday, the temperature will increase to 70°F, and sunny skies are forecast for the remainder of the week. The warming trend is a welcome shift after the cold snap over the weekend, with temperatures reaching the low 70s by Friday.

Local residents should remain cautious on Sunday, especially if traveling along Highway 180 or I-40, as snow accumulation is expected to be minimal but still potentially hazardous. The dry, warm weather in the coming week will help improve road conditions and bring relief to the area. Drivers are encouraged to monitor local weather updates as conditions change quickly.
