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.
