Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
355 AM MST Tue Apr 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and seasonably warm weather will continue through
through much of the the week. Increasing winds and slightly cooler
temperatures look to return for Friday and into the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The pattern largely remains dominated by zonal flow
through much of the week. As a result, winds look to remain on
the lighter side along with temperatures near to slightly above
average for this time of year.

The only real sign of any weather looks to come near the weekend
when most of the operational guidance shows a trough moving into the
Great Basin. At this time, the main cluster of moisture looks to
remain largely to the north, so precipitation chances remain on
the low side. The best shot at any precipitation right now looks
to mainly be over far northern Arizona on Sunday. Outside of that,
the main sensible weather changes look to mainly be a slight dip
in temperatures and an increase in afternoon winds.
