Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
835 PM MST Sat Oct 19 2019

.SYNOPSIS...A dry cold front will push through Sunday, with high
temperatures falling 10 to 15 degrees in northeast Arizona. A
warming trend will occur Tuesday and Wednesday. Another dry cold
front will likely cooler temperatures on Thursday and Friday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Current satellite imagery shows that mid and upper-
level cloud cover has increased across the area ahead of an
approaching cold front draped across Utah. This front will move 
into the area during the morning hours, but no precipitation is 
expected to accompany this boundary as is moves across the state. 
The current forecast captures these trends well and no updates are
anticipated this evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION /236 PM MST/...Quiet weather is expected to
continue for the next several days across northern Arizona. Few
changes were made to the previous forecast.

A trough and associated dry cold front will pass through northeast
Arizona early Sunday. Behind the front, winds will shift to the
northwest and remain breezy throughout the day. Daytime
temperatures will be noticeably cooler across northeast Arizona,
with highs 10 to 15 degrees cooler than today. The cooler air
won't make it far enough to impact areas south of the Mogollon
Rim, with temperatures remaining similar to today.

Continued cool conditions and lighter winds can be expected
Monday. A building ridge of high pressure off the West Coast will
allow for warming temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday. High
temperatures are forecast to be around 5 to 7 degrees above normal
both days. Another trough and dry cold front looks to impact the
area on Thursday, with increased northerly winds and cooler
temperatures.
