A winter weather advisory has been issued for our area beginning tonight and extending through tomorrow. If you plan on traveling on Interstate 40 or the county mountain roads (Hualapai Mtn Rd, DW Ranch Rd, etc.) use extreme care and watch for snow removal equipment on the roadways. As you travel, you can call the Arizona Department of Transportions 511 number for updated road conditions and/or closures or you can visit www.az511.gov.
