FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A strong winter storm that hit much of Arizona, bringing heavy snow and rain and the temporary closure of a large section of Interstate 40 on Saturday, is expected to weaken overnight, forecasters said.

The storm and one that hit the state a day earlier, dropped as much as 2 feet of snow in the mountains north of Flagstaff, at least a foot in Flagstaff itself and along the Mogollon Rim and about 6 inches in Prescott, according to the National Weather Service. Scattered power outages were reported.
