Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
1055 AM MST Fri Oct 2 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Drier and warmer conditions will move in through the
weekend and into much of next week as high pressure looks to
dominate the region.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure remains in control over Arizona through
much of the forecast period. Dry conditions and near seasonable
temperatures remain over northern Arizona as a result. Winds
remain fairly light from the northeast through southeast day,
aside from Sunday where a slight uptick in winds looks probable.
Ensemble guidance doesn`t really show any break in this dry
pattern. Much of the EPS, GEFS, and CMCE members show low PWATs
through the next 8-12 days.

&&

.AVIATION...Friday 02/18Z through Saturday 03/18Z...VFR conditions,
no precipitation expected. Daytime winds NE-SE 5-15kts, light and
variable or terrain driven overnight.

OUTLOOK...Saturday 03/18Z through Monday 05/18Z...VFR conditions,
no precipitation expected. Daytime winds NE-SE 5-15kts, light and
variable or terrain driven overnight.

temperatures. Winds NE-SE 5-15 mph each afternoon, becoming light
and variable overnight. Minimum RH values in the afternoon 20%
deserts to 30-40% mountains.
