ARIZONA WEATHER FORCE MAIN:
A widespread wind event is going to slam Arizona starting Tuesday night and going into Wednesday. This arctic blast will be due to a 150-mph upper-level jet stream moving over the region. This will cause damage in many areas, including the metros. Prescott stands a chance at having wind gusts over 70+ mph, or hurricane force. Damage is sure to happen up there.
In addition to that, this will bring a round of mid/upper elevation snowfall through Wednesday, some of Thursday, with a break on Friday. After Friday, a secondary system will move through over the weekend.
Key points about this storm system are as followed.
- Widespread damaging wind event Tuesday night into Wednesday.
- Prescott will see the most snow so far this season from this pattern along with hurricane force wind gusts.
- Heavy Mogollon Zone Snowfall
