677 FXUS65 KFGZ 042302 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 402 PM MST Thu Dec 4 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Expect dry conditions and warming daytime temperatures well into next week. && .DISCUSSION...Well, the evolving pattern for at least the next 7 days looks an awful lot like a locked and loaded La Nia. We will be just east of a large eastern Pacific ridge through the period. This means nearly clear skies and warming temperatures, especially over higher terrain and south of the Mogollon Rim. Some areas north of the Mogollon Rim may be susceptible to low-level inversions for the next several days, potentially delaying the warming until next week as the ridge axis moves farther east. That`s about it! Dry, light winds and a warming trend, enjoy! && .AVIATION...Friday 05/00Z through Saturday 06/00Z...VFR conditions expected through the TAF period, with increasing cloud cover expected overnight. Clear skies forecast to return by 18Z Friday. Light and variable winds anticipated through the period. OUTLOOK...Saturday 06/00Z through Monday 08/00Z...VFR conditions forecast through the weekend. Other than west through north winds 10-20 kts Saturday afternoon, light and variable winds should prevail. && .FIRE WEATHER...Friday and Saturday...Dry and warmer conditions are expected each day with little to no cloud cover. Winds will remain light, under 10 mph and predominantly from the north-northwest on Friday, followed by breezier west-northwest winds, 10 to 25 mph, on Saturday. Sunday through Tuesday...The dry and mild conditions persist with daytime temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above average by Tuesday. Afternoon winds will remain light and mainly from the north and northeast each day. && .FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None. && $$ PUBLIC...Peterson AVIATION...Konieczny FIRE WEATHER...LaGuardia For Northern Arizona weather information visit weather.gov/flagstaff
