785 FXUS65 KFGZ 110520 AFDFGZ 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.
