Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
1021 AM MST Thu Nov 27 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and seasonably warm weather will persist through
Saturday. By Sunday, expect increasing winds and noticeably colder
temperatures, with chances for rain and snow showers by Sunday night
and into early Monday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Fairly tranquil, late fall weather through Saturday.
Temperatures will remain several degrees above normal, with only
light winds and passing high clouds.

By late Sunday, several models are now in agreement that a s/wv will
move down the eastern side of an amplifying eastPac ridge. This s/wv
will track over the Four Corners region later Sunday night, exiting
quickly Monday. This is not a terribly dynamic or wet scenario and
we do not expect a very impactful situation. However, confidence is
increasing for a cool down, increased winds for Sunday afternoon and
Monday, along with chances of rain and high elevation snow showers.

If you are traveling late Sunday/Monday, especially over portions of
eastern Arizona, check up on your forecast as we draw closer.
