Ely, Nevada, and the surrounding deserts are clear, maintaining dry conditions all the way to Las Vegas. Snow is lightly dusting the Sierra Nevada range, contributing to the season’s accumulation. Meanwhile, a mix of rain and snow is observed near Cedar City, hinting at slick conditions. Flagstaff, Arizona, maintains a chilly atmosphere with potential light flurries, but no precipitation is noted at the moment.
