Get ready for the first hard frost of the season and an icy commute in Flagstaff Friday morning.

The National Weather Service in Bellemont is predicting the first in-town snow of the season will fall Thursday night, with snow levels down to 6,500 feet.

The cold front will arrive late Wednesday night, with wind gusts up to 50 mph.

The high temperatures on Thursday and Friday will be 20 degrees below normal for early October, with rain and snow showers predicted both days.

Ouch. BTW, the snow picture shows snow at or above the treeline, not down to 5600 feet.
