Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
240 AM MST Wed Jun 1 2022

.SYNOPSIS...Temperatures will warm to a few degrees above normal
this week, with generally light southwest winds. Winds may become
locally gusty each afternoon, especially over higher terrain. High
temperatures will dip a bit by this weekend, with southwest winds
increasing once again, especially on Saturday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A warming trend is on the way, with temperatures 
peaking on Thursday or Friday. Temperatures then drop off a few 
degrees by the coming weekend but still remain around normal. 
This is due to yet another longwave trough taking up residence 
over the Pacific Northwest, which will also bring us increased 
southwest winds and potential fire weather concerns.

An early look at next week seems like a significant ridge will 
build over the southwest, bringing heat concerns back into the 
picture.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 12Z TAF package...Clear skies and VFR conditions 
will continue through the next 24 hrs. Generally light winds today
