The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Grand Canyon Country. A storm system will move into Arizona on Sunday (Jan 27) with heavy rainfall possible. The Backcountry Information Center strongly recommends hikers watch the development of this storm closely. Most folks are unaware that historically the “biggest” Grand Canyon floods tend to occur in the winter.
The Grand Canyon Weather Conditions page (www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/weather-condition.htm) has:
• links to current weather and forecast information for the South Rim, North Rim, and Phantom Ranch
• NOAA Live Audio Forecast for Grand Canyon (weather radio)
• phone numbers for recorded messages on road conditions and links to state highway websites
