severe winter weatherr

TUCSON – Motorists who plan to travel Wednesday in southern Arizona should plan ahead for heavy snow in the mountains and slick roads in the lower deserts as a winter storm moves into the area, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. 

Cooler temperatures are around the corner and that means snow in Arizona’s high country. To help travelers this winter, the Arizona Department of Transportation has partnered with the National Weather Service to create graphics that use their color code for storm severity to better inform drivers of what to expect from winter storms.
