930 FXUS65 KFGZ 072030 AFDFGZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 130 PM MST Sat Jun 7 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Warmer and mainly dry conditions continue into next week. Expect generally light winds through the weekend, gradually increasing through the week. && .DISCUSSION...A fairly mundane pattern is in store for much of the forecast period, with high pressure largely in control. Mainly dry conditions, warming temperatures, and typical afternoon breezes are expected each day as a result. With some lingering mid-level moisture and a deep boundary layer, there is a slight chance for some isolated showers or sprinkles through early next week. The most likely days, given current guidance, look to be Monday and/or Tuesday as a weak shortwave brushes Arizona to the north. The sub-cloud layer still looks to be fairly dry however, so any meaningful rainfall looks to be extremely unlikely. Nevertheless, PoPs were increased over the higher terrain to at least mention the potential. This potential looks to decrease by the middle of next week as increasing subsidence aloft will act to inhibit any convective development. && .AVIATION...Saturday 07/18Z through Sunday 08/18Z...VFR conditions and mainly clear skies are forecast. Winds southwest to west at 5-15 kts during the day, light and variable terrain driven overnight. OUTLOOK...Sunday 08/18Z through Tuesday 10/18Z...Look for VFR conditions. Winds generally light and variable at 5-15 kts. && .FIRE WEATHER...Sunday and Monday...Warm and dry. Minimum relative humidity values ranging from 10-20% with southwest to west winds at 5-15 mph gusting to 25 mph each day. Tuesday through Thursday...Warm and dry. Minimum afternoon relative humidity values of 10-20% are forecast. Look for southwest to west winds at 5-15 mph gusting to 25 mph on Tuesday, increasing to 10-20 mph gusting to 30 mph on Wednesday and Thursday with near critical fire weather conditions developing. && .FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None. && $$ PUBLIC...Humphreys AVIATION...McCollum FIRE WEATHER...McCollum For Northern Arizona weather information visit weather.gov/flagstaff
