Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
327 AM MST Fri Apr 19 2024

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

&&

.DISCUSSION...Above normal hghts will persist into the middle of
next week, only fluctuating slightly over the coming days. We expect
above normal daytime temperatures to continue, with occasional high
clouds from time to time.

This is not a particularly windy pattern, just normal, diurnal
southwesterlies each afternoon, generally less than 20 mph. By next
week, especially the middle and latter parts of next week, a series
of troughs begin to break down the hghts over Arizona, bringing
enhanced winds and a cooling trend. Chances for showers may also
develop with these troughs, but that is out at day 7 or 8 right
now, we will wait and see.

&&

.AVIATION...Friday 19/06Z through Saturday 20/06Z...Look for VFR
conditions under scattered upper-level clouds. Light and variable
winds overnight will become west-southwest at 10-20 kts by Friday
afternoon.

OUTLOOK...Saturday 20/06Z through Monday 22/06Z...VFR conditions
will persist under variable high clouds. Afternoon winds will
become west-northwest at 15-25 kts Saturday followed by southwest
winds at 10-20 kts Sunday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Friday through Saturday...Warm and dry conditions
will continue, with afternoon southwest winds 10 to 20 mph.

Sunday through Tuesday...Warm and dry weather continues, with daily
southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph, especially Tuesday.
