Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
914 AM MST Sat Apr 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Warm and dry weather will persist into the weekend.
Expect generally light winds each afternoon.

&&

.UPDATE...Beautiful sunny skies this morning with the most
eventful weather today being scattered afternoon clouds. No
updates necessary to the mundane yet accurate forecast.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION /428 AM MST/...A very minor s/wv will exit the
eastern border of Arizona early this morning, dragging a small,
mid-level cloud shield and about 16 drops of rain with it. Hghts
rebound in the wake of this wave, continuing right on through the
weekend and into early next week. Expect warm and dry conditions
as a result, with generally light winds for the next several days.

Later next week, guidance seems fairly consistent with moving the
ridge position eastward and allowing for a series of low pressure
systems to move into the region. This would mean steadily increasing
southwest winds, cooler temperature and a chance of showers. Still
a little ways out, but something to keep an eye on.

Variable wind 5 kts or less through 16Z, then mainly SW 5-15 kts.
