Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
155 PM MST Fri Nov 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and mild weather will continue through the coming
weekend and much of next week. A more unsettled pattern with
chances for precipitation may return by next weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A ridge of high pressure will amplify just off the
west coast over the weekend, peaking at an impressive amplitude by
Sunday or Monday. The ridge will then slowly move eastward while
losing amplitude, but this could take all the way to next Friday or
Saturday. This means several days of well above normal temperatures
are on tap, especially Monday and Tuesday, when some high country
records may fall.

The pattern may break down just past the end of this forecast
period. Models are chaotic and there is very low confidence, but
a return to unsettled weather may be the cards.
