Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
304 AM MST Sat Apr 21 2018

.SYNOPSIS...Warmer temperatures, lighter winds, and mostly dry 
conditions can be expected through at least the middle of next 
week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A period of quiet weather is in store for northern
Arizona over the next several days. Temperatures will be around 5
degrees above normal today then warming to around 10 degrees 
above normal from Sunday into much of next week. A weak 
disturbance will bring a slight chance of showers to the White 
Mountains on Sunday, but otherwise expect a dry weekend. Typical 
spring afternoon breezes will occur next week, but this will be a 
much lighter wind regime than we have experienced over the past 
week or so. 

With the warm daytime temperatures and some limited boundary 
layer moisture, there will likely be some afternoon cloud buildups
over high terrain especially Wednesday through Friday. There
remains a slight chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms for
the high terrain of Apache County including the White Mountains 
Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 12Z package...Expect VFR conditions across 
northern Arizona for the next 24 hrs. Winds will be light and 
variable through the morning becoming north to northeast at 5 to 10 
kts with gusts 15 to 20 kts north of the Mogollon Rim after 18z. 
Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.

northeasterly flow. Sunday a weak disturbance will bring a chance 
for showers over the White Mountains and light southwesterly winds.

through the midweek with typical spring afternoon breezes. A slight
