Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
329 AM MST Mon Apr 1 2019

.SYNOPSIS...Expect near normal high temperatures with occasionally
gusty springtime winds through the week. Some showers will be
possible north of I-40 Tuesday evening through Wednesday. 

&&

.DISCUSSION...Spring weather will be in full swing this week, with
a warm start to the week on Monday and Tuesday. 

A cold front will move through the area Tuesday and Wednesday, 
bringing gusty winds Tuesday, with showers developing Tuesday 
afternoon and Evening and continuing through Wednesday. 
The gusty southwest winds will be widespread ahead of the cold
front. Current forecast speeds look to be slightly below wind 
advisory criteria at the moment, with some isolated locations 
possibly reaching criteria. 

The shower activity Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday looks to
remain mainly north of I-40, with the bulk of the precipitation 
occurring north of the Utah state line.

A ridge of high pressure looks to build into the area Thursday
with models suggesting another shortwave trough moving through the
area again on friday. Confidence is not high over the timing and
impacts of this this continuation of an active spring weather
pattern, but high impact weather is not anticipated at this time.
