Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
435 AM MST Sun May 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Expect a warming trend beginning today and continuing
into next week. Winds will not be as strong, but will gust from 10
to 20 mph each afternoon, especially over higher terrain.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Our s/wv has passed by to the north and we are all
done with strong winds and enhanced fire danger, for now. The door
is open for higher hghts going forward, as the northern stream of
the jet becomes more progressive. This means a warming trend for our
area, most locations rising just a bit above normal heading into
next week. We will remain dry and since this is not an  amplified
ridge pattern, expect normal diurnal breezes from 10-20 mph each
afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION...Sunday 26/12Z through Monday 27/12Z...VFR through the
period. SW winds at 10-20 kts by 18Z, becoming light and variable
after 03Z tonight.

OUTLOOK...Monday 27/12Z through Wednesday 29/12Z...VFR conditions
persist. SW winds 5-15 kts in the afternoons expected.

&&

Tuesday through Thursday...Temperatures continue moderating Tuesday
and then remain warm through Thursday. Afternoon RHs will continue
