Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
1020 PM MST Wed Dec 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Above normal temperatures and dry conditions will be
the main story through the forecast period.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure remains situated over the eastern
Pacific allowing daytime highs to reach 10-20 degrees above normal
and dry conditions to persist. This ridge will build and wiggle
eastward through Saturday, keeping our weather story very stagnate
over the next few days. A dry trough looks to insert itself later
this weekend/early next week, but overall impacts will be hardly
noticeable. Afternoon high temperatures will likely drop by a few
degrees (although still remain well above normal for this time of
year), and increased high clouds will be the main excitement from
this low pressure system.

As the low pressure system exits out of the state by Tuesday
morning, a dry northwest flow will return to the region. In
short, warm temperatures, dry weather, and light winds will stick
around for the foreseeable future.

&&

.AVIATION...Thursday 11/00Z through Friday 12/06Z...Expect VFR
conditions and generally light winds. ENE winds 10-20kts mainly in
the overnight hours downwind of higher terrain features. This
includes terminal KSEZ.

OUTLOOK...Friday 12/00Z through Sunday 14/00Z...Expect VFR
conditions and generally light winds. ENE winds 10-15kts develop
mainly in the overnight hours downwind of higher terrain features.
This includes terminal KSEZ.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Thursday and Friday...Dry and warm conditions
continue with temperatures 10-20 degrees above average. Light and
variable daytime winds around 5 to 15 mph each day. Minimum RH
values between 15-35% each afternoon.

Saturday through Monday...Dry and warm conditions will continue
through the weekend with temperatures 10-20 degrees above average
Saturday and 10-15 degrees above average Sunday and Monday. Light
and variable daytime winds around 5 to 15 mph each day. Minimum RH
