12/29/14 – A major winter storm will impact the region by early Wednesday and Thursday. This storm will bring accumulating snow to much of the region with the highest amounts likely along and south of the Mogollon Rim.

Many areas will see some snowfall from this event even down to the valley floors as snow levels will plummet Wednesday night. However, the most significant accumulations will be found above 5000 feet.

Many areas will see 4 to 8 inches above 5000 feet with locations along and south of the Mogollon Rim seeing a foot or more. This snow will be falling in a very cold airmass and the water content of the snow will be low. This will cause areas of blowing and drifting snow with low visibilities.

Expect dangerous driving conditions for the New Years Holiday.
