729 FXUS65 KFGZ 221122 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 422 AM MST Sun Sep 22 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Dry conditions with increasing temperatures through the end of the week. Light and variable winds expected each day. && .DISCUSSION...The low pressure system that brought showers/thunderstorms throughout much of Saturday will continue to push eastward today. As a result, light north-northwest winds are expected this afternoon with near normal temperatures. Throughout this coming week, a ridge will gradually build across portions of the western CONUS. This pattern will assist with temperatures reaching 7-15 degrees above normal towards next weekend. The high pressure system looks to wobble around throughout the forecast period, so wind directions will vary but should generally be 10 mph or less. Locally breezy locations could see slightly higher wind speeds. Despite the afternoons remaining on the warm side, overnight lows are still expected to reach near freezing (or at least low 40s) for some areas across the higher terrain. The foreseeable future looks pretty quiet in terms of weather. Enjoy the warm temperatures, light winds, and dry conditions while they last! && .AVIATION...Sunday 22/12Z through Monday 23/12Z...VFR with light north to northeast winds.
