Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
150 AM MST Sat Oct 3 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and seasonably warm conditions will continue over
the weekend and well into next week, as high pressure dominates the
region. Expect locally breezy easterly winds from time to time, but
especially on Sunday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will remain in place through this
forecast period. The high is strong enough to keep the atmosphere
capped and daytime temperatures generally above normal. Limited
moisture attempts to move in from the east from time to time, but it
is doubtful this will result in much more than fair-weather cumulus.

This pattern will keep daily easterly breezes going, especially on
Sunday, but nothing very consequential. That is about it, maybe some
moisture after the end of this forecast period, as low pressure
attempts to develop off the west coast, but a very low-confidnce
scenario at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...Saturday 03/06Z through Sunday 04/06Z...VFR conditions
with light and variable or terrain driven winds overnight. Expect
daytime winds NE-SE 5-15 kts with gusts 20-25 kts.

OUTLOOK...Sunday 04/06Z through Tuesday 06/06Z...VFR conditions
with daytime winds NE-SE 5-15 kts becoming light and variable or
terrain driven winds overnight.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Saturday and Sunday...Dry conditions with
seasonably warm temperatures. Daytime winds east through northeast
from 10 to 20 mph on Saturday, then 15 to 25 mph, with gusts to 30
mph on Sunday.

Monday through Wednesday...Mainly dry conditions with continued
seasonable temperatures. A slight chance of high-based convection
develops by Wednesday, mainly over the higher terrain of eastern
Arizona. Daytime winds generally northeast through southeast and
ranging from 5 to 15 mph.

&&

.FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None.
