Flights into and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were expected to stop around midday Thursday because of high winds and low visibility.
Sky Harbor spokeswoman Deborah Ostreicher says flights that hadn't left for Phoenix by about 10:30 a.m. local time probably won't take off for Arizona until Thursday evening.
...Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says airlines are opting to cancel flights because of expected very strong crosswinds.
The winter storm causing the problems was dumping heavy rain on the Phoenix area and several feet of snow to the north, which closed roads and made driving difficult.
