FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The High Country has been inundated with snow over the past couple of days as a strong storm system moved through northern Arizona.
The downtown Flagstaff area has already seen more than 9 inches of snow on the ground from Wednesday's storm and it doesn't look like the winter weather is going to let up anytime soon.
Another storm is expected to enter the state early Thursday afternoon and bring more snow to the Flagstaff area. According to the National Weather Service, 12-18 inches of snow is forecasted to fall in the area starting Thursday afternoon through early Friday morning.
Along with the snow wind gusts between 30-35 mph are expected in the Flagstaff area, NWS said.
FORECAST: Snow, shower chances continue
NWS also warned that snow loading could become dangerous in some places, so be safe if you have to travel or go out into the elements.
For now, the mountain areas will continue to see several more inches of snowfall. In the Valley, residents should expect chances for light rain showers throughout the day and into the evening hours.
