Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
426 PM MST Sun Apr 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will build across the region through the
week, with near record warmth expected. Dry conditions and generally
light winds will continue through the next several days.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure begins its push eastward and into the
Desert Southwest through much of this week with dry conditions
expected. This will bring in much warmer air with increasing
temperatures each day. By mid to late week we will see temperatures
around 10-20 degrees above average with near-record to record
temperatures in parts of the area. The heat looks to peak around
Thursday and Friday before temperatures slip a few degrees heading
into the weekend. Winds will be out of the west to southwest around
5-15 mph each day with a few higher gusts in the afternoons.

Towards the end of the week, the models indicate that a trough may
dig down and move across the region. Confidence is not particularly
high at this time as there are large differences in timing, depth,
and track of this potential system. For now, it looks like we will
see a slight decrease in temperatures and a slight increase in winds
for next weekend.
