131 FXUS65 KFGZ 041950 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 1250 PM MST Thu Dec 4 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Expect dry conditions and warming daytime temperatures well into next week. && .DISCUSSION...Well, the evolving pattern for at least the next 7 days looks an awful lot like a locked and loaded La Nia. We will be just east of a large eastern Pacific ridge through the period. This means nearly clear skies and warming temperatures, especially over higher terrain and south of the Mogollon Rim. Some areas north of the Mogollon Rim may be susceptible to low-level inversions for the next several days, potentially delaying the warming until next week as the ridge axis moves farther east. That`s about it! Dry, light winds and a warming trend, enjoy! && .AVIATION...Thursday 04/18Z through Friday 05/18Z...VFR conditions persist with mostly clear skies. Increasing mid-level clouds becoming BKN-OVC overnight is expected before clearing out Friday afternoon. Mostly light north and east winds, 5-10 kts. OUTLOOK...Friday 05/18Z through Sunday 07/18Z...VFR conditions continue with clear skies. Winds remain light and variable for Friday and Sunday afternoons, with increasing west-northwest winds on Saturday, 10-20 kts. && .FIRE WEATHER...Friday and Saturday...Dry and warmer conditions are expected each day with little to no cloud cover. Winds will remain light, under 10 mph and predominantly from the north-northwest on Friday, followed by breezier west-northwest winds, 10 to 25 mph, on Saturday. Sunday through Tuesday...The dry and mild conditions persist with daytime temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above average by Tuesday. Afternoon winds will remain light and mainly from the north and northeast each day. && .FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None. && $$ PUBLIC...Peterson AVIATION...LaGuardia FIRE WEATHER...LaGuardia For Northern Arizona weather information visit weather.gov/flagstaff
