What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this red flag warning 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 red flag warning went out at Jun 11, 8:41 AM MST, 5 hours 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 8:41 AM MST, 5 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
841 AM MST Thu Jun 11 2020

.SYNOPSIS...Slightly above normal temperatures will continue into
early next week. Another round of gusty winds and critical fire
weather conditions is likely Friday and Saturday. A slight chance
for afternoon thunderstorms returns to portions of eastern
Arizona through early next week, but little rainfall is expected.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Relatively light southwest winds and above normal
temperatures are expected today as high pressure remains in
control of our weather. Just enough moisture is present over
far eastern Arizona for a slight chance of a dry thunderstorm and
associated gusty outflow winds along and south of a line
extending from Show Low to Window Rock.

Starting Friday, a low pressure system moving onto the west coast
will cause an increase in southwesterly flow with surface winds
gusting to 30-40 mph over most of Coconino County and portions of
Yavapai and northern Navajo Counties. A Fire Weather Watch remains
in effect as these winds combine with low humidity. On Saturday,
winds look to be a bit stronger with gusts in the 35-45 mph range
affecting a larger portion of northern Arizona. A Fire Weather
Watch has also been issued for Saturday. The slight chance of
mostly dry thunderstorms will linger over Apache County.

Sunday through Wednesday - expect near normal afternoon
temperatures with lower wind speeds compared to Saturday, with
gusts mostly in the 25-30 mph range. The slight chance for an
afternoon thunderstorm lingers near the White Mountains.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 18Z package...VFR conditions to continue over
the next 24 hrs. Areas of smoke possible due to ongoing wildfires.
South winds increasing this afternoon to 10-20 kts. Btwn 18z-02z A
few -TSRA with gusty winds to 40 kts possible southern Apache
county. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.

&&

Stronger winds on Friday will lead to areas of critical fire weather
conditions and a Fire Weather Watch remains in effect for portions
of north central Arizona. Isolated thunderstorms are possible today
and Friday across Apache County. Strong outflow winds could
accompany any thunderstorms.

.Saturday through Monday...Areas of critical fire weather are
possible again Saturday as stronger winds develop. A Fire Weather
