888 FXUS65 KFGZ 061628 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 928 AM MST Thu Nov 6 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Dry and warm conditions will continue through the weekend and into first-half of next week. && .DISCUSSION...Zonal flow keeps dry conditions and slightly above- normal temperatures in the forecast to finish out the work week. Breezy conditions look to remain this afternoon, as a weak shortwave passes through Utah and Colorado. High pressure then builds into the region over the weekend, bringing lighter winds and a slight uptick in temperatures into the start of next week. No chances for precipitation look to exist in the next 7 days. However, much of the global ensemble guidance continues to favor the potential for rain and high-elevation snow near the end of next week. Confidence in any exact details remains low however, given how far out this potential system still is. Nevertheless, a return of cooler more seasonable temperatures and breezier winds look probable. && .AVIATION...Thursday 06/18Z through Friday 07/18Z...Look for VFR conditions.
