117 FXUS65 KFGZ 271721 AFDFGZ 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. && .AVIATION...Thursday 27/18Z through Friday 28/18Z...VFR conditions. Winds are generally light and VRB or terrain driven through the period. SCT-BKN clouds above 15,000 ft. OUTLOOK...Friday 28/18Z through Sunday 30/18Z...VFR conditions.
