What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Flagstaff, AZ wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Mar 29, 9:23 AM MST, 4 hours 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 29, 9:23 AM MST, 4 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
923 AM MST Wed Mar 29 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Gusty north through northeast winds will diminish
later this morning. Winds will increase again Thursday afternoon
and turn to the southwest as another cold low pressure system
approaches the state. This next storm will bring scattered
showers and thunderstorms to the area Thursday night through
Saturday, along with colder temperatures.

&&

.UPDATE...Gusty north to northeast winds continue this morning,
mainly along/south of higher terrain features. Expect these winds
to diminish during the afternoon. By Thursday, a cold upper low
will approach the state from the northwest, with strong winds
developing ahead of the system from Thursday afternoon through
Thursday evening. Will be evaluating the need for a Wind Advisory
for most of northern Arizona, with some areas approaching High
Wind Warning criteria during the late afternoon and early evening.
This means widespread gusts of 40 to 55 mph, with locally higher
gusts to 60+ mph possible. More on this in the afternoon
discussion.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION /500 AM MST/...Gusty northerly gradients have
developed overnight behind a low pressure system, now over eastern
New Mexico. These winds will be short-lived as a s/wv ridge moves
over the area tonight and early Thursday. Another deep and cold
upper low will move into the area by Thursday night and Friday,
with gusty southwest winds developing Thursday afternoon.

The trajectory and speed of this low will limit the amount of
moisture available. Despite this, very strong cold air advection
and dynamics will allow for some shower and thunderstorm
development. Moisture and instability will persist into Friday
and maybe Saturday as the low stalls over New Mexico. S/wv
ridging arrives Sunday, with another similar upper low arriving
Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 18Z Package...Expect VFR conditions through
the next 24 hours. In addition, gusty, but localized north to
northeast winds are expected to continue through the morning hours
at locations immediately south of the Mogollon Rim, White
Mountains and Chuska Mountains in far northeast Arizona. In these
areas, gusts into the 20-30 kt range are possible. After 16Z
Thursday, stronger SW winds will develop and continue into
Thursday evening. Sustained speeds of 20 to 30 kt with gusts 35 to
45 kt are expected to develop. Aviation discussion not updated
for TAF amendments.
