The NWS has issued winter warnings for the Western Mogollon Rim, Yavapai County Mountains, Grand Canyon Country, the Coconino Plateau, and the Northwest Deserts as these areas are expected to see several inches of snow. The advisory is expected to last until Tuesday at midnight local time.

Over the past couple of months, record fall and winter heat and a lack of precipitation have led to Flagstaff's driest start to winter on record.
