What You Need to Know to Stay Safe This Week

Arizonaโ€™s weather is shifting fast, and depending on where you are, you may need short sleeves or winter coats this week. Hereโ€™s how to prepare:

  • Check the Forecast Daily: Arizonaโ€™s weather can change quickly, so stay updated, especially if traveling.
  • Drive Safely: Roads in northern Arizona may become slippery from snow and ice, while rainy conditions in central Arizona could create slick highways.
  • Dress for the Weather: If youโ€™re in Phoenix or Tucson, layers are your best bet for warm days and cool nights. In Flagstaff, bundle up, as temperatures will drop below freezing.
  • Be Ready for Rain: Even though Arizona is known for its sunshine, showers are possible this week, so keep an umbrella handy if youโ€™re in central or southern Arizona.

Arizonaโ€™s forecast proves that no two days are the same when it comes to weather in the Grand Canyon State. Whether you’re enjoying the sunshine in Phoenix, bundling up in Flagstaff, or somewhere in between, being prepared will keep you comfortable and safe.
