More details
Pay attention for the flood warnings and flood advisories issued by the National Weather Service. With snowmelt at higher elevations, and now rain, expect higher than normal flow in Oak Creek. Low water crossings and driveways may become impassable. Do NOT attempt to cross areas if water is present. Turn around, don’t drown.
SR 89A remains closed between Sedona and Flagstaff due to the rocks on the highway. Officials are warning those traveling in the area to research alternative routes. If you are traveling to or from Flagstaff, plan to use the I-17.
