Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
1017 AM MST Sat Nov 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and warm conditions with generally light winds will
continue through the next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure remains in control of our weather
through the weekend with generally light winds and temperatures
around 5-15 degrees above normal.

A weak low will move into southern California late Sunday, then
cross our region on Monday. With so much dry air in place, we won`t
see anything much more than an increase in cloud cover and a slight
dip in temperatures. Additionally, the winds will swing around to
the south to southwest and increase to around 10-15 mph.

The flow remains pretty zonal heading into midweek and with a couple
of weak shortwaves moving through the mid-level flow. Generally warm
temperatures with south through west winds are expected to continue.

By Wednesday, we start to see a trough push down along the Pacific
NW coast. This trough will move through the Great Basin and into the
Rockies Wednesday through Friday. The base of the trough may clip
our northern zones but again we lack moisture and other than an
increase in clouds as the trough passes through and a slight
increase in winds as they shift to the west to northwest, we won`t
even realize that it crossed the region. Mainly zonal flow will then
continue heading into next weekend.
