Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
418 AM MST Mon Dec 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry conditions with warming temperatures will continue
through the coming week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The forecast remains unchanged, we are in a quiescent
period of weather through at least early next week. A consistent
strong ridge over the eastern Pacific Ocean is keeping northern AZ
under a dry northwest flow. Expect generally light winds and a
gradual warming trend through the week. Skies will be mostly clear
save a few passing high clouds as occasional weak disturbances
brush to the northeast. Daytime highs will approach 10-15 degrees
and even locally 20 degrees above normal by Wednesday-Thursday.
The only other thing of note will be efficient radiational cooling
leading to breezy nighttime terrain winds, particularly
along/south of the Mogollon Rim.

&&

Light and variable winds through 18Z, becoming N-E 10 kts or less.
