Current Conditions

Weather Conditions

Weather can vary greatly across the three districts of the Kaibab National Forest and it is always suggested to check the weather before your visit, especially during winter when snow and ice may make roads dangerous or impassable, and during the monsoonal storms which occur generally in July and August.

The NWS Forecast Office Flagstaff provides weather forecasts, watches, and warnings for the Kaibab National Forest.
