969 FXUS65 KFGZ 022246 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 346 PM MST Mon Nov 2 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Look for mild temperatures, dry conditions and occasional afternoon breezes into the weekend. Despite the dry forecast, serious flooding continues in spots. Stay away from waterways and if you come to a flooded road, turn around, don`t drown. && .DISCUSSION...A dry flow aloft will set up over northern Arizona over the coming week, a blessed relief from TOO much rain over the past few days. The remainder of today through Tuesday...A weak high pressure system will move across Arizona. As a result, look for light and variable winds, a bit warmer temperatures and generally clear skies. Even so, use caution when driving as many low water crossings will still be flooded or otherwise inundated with water. On Wednesday and Thursday...A weak and dry shortwave trough will brush the area. Not much impact with this system except for a slight dip in high temperatures, variable high clouds and locally gusty west to northwest winds at 5-15 mph gusting to around 25 mph. Those higher gust will be located over the mountain areas from over the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim to the New Mexico border. From Friday into Monday...High pressure will build over the southwest states with warming daytime temperatures and surface pressure gradients that will favor north to northeast breezes at 10-20 mph. But perhaps the most important message, continued dry. Beyond Monday...Chances for showers return but at this time look likes a minimal threat compared to our most recent experience. && .AVIATION...Tuesday 03/00Z through Wednesday 04/00Z...VFR conditions with VRB winds 5-10 kts.
