The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Apr 10, 8:49 AM MST, 4 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 8:49 AM MST, 4 hours 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ 849 AM MST Sun Apr 10 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Breezy winds today with increasing cloud cover and average springtime temperatures. Expect significant changes to the weather with very strong winds and a chance of showers Monday and Tuesday. After a blast of cold temperatures through midweek, a slight warming trend will gradually return by Thursday with continuous breezy conditions each afternoon. && .UPDATE...A weak shortwave in the northwest flow will approach the region today through this evening. Mid level moisture along a nearly stalled cold front is bringing mainly virga showers over east central Arizona this morning in the Ganado and Window Rock areas. This is forecast to continue into this evening though any rainfall should be very light trace amounts. Otherwise today's forecast is on track and the main focus of this afternoon's package will be on the strong winds expected Monday and Tuesday. && .PREV DISCUSSION /426 AM MST/...Typical springtime weather is in the forecast for Sunday with average temperatures, some breezy west to southwest winds, and scattered clouds across the sky. While most areas will remain dry, their is a slight chance of rain showers near the Arizona and New Mexico border late Sunday afternoon and into the evening. Monday through Wednesday...A strong upper-level low pressure system located over the Northwest U.S. will begin to make it's way east to southeastward Monday. While the low-pressure area will remain well north of Arizona, the associated trough will extend far enough south to significantly tighten pressure gradients through the lower portions of the atmosphere. These strong gradients over Arizona will increase winds Monday with peak winds anticipated late Monday evening into early Tuesday morning. A High Wind Watch has been issued beginning Monday afternoon with sustained winds out of the southwest at 30 to 40 mph and gusts above 60 mph possible across much of northern Arizona. These winds will be especially strong near and east-northeast of higher terrain stretching from the Kaibab Plateau along and north of the Mogollon Rim. Blowing dust could become a concern especially for the Little Colorado River Valley, potentially creating periods of hazardous travel conditions. A cold front will help drive the chance of rain and snow showers with the best chances being Tuesday morning for the Flagstaff area before pushing eastward by the afternoon. This strong cold front will bring temperatures crashing down Tuesday. Snow levels will be near 4,500 to 5,500 feet. Although showers are likely along the Rim, moisture is limited with this system, leading to limited accumulation. Behind the front, early morning lows Wednesday morning will be well below freezing for much of northern Arizona. Take any necessary actions to avoid damage to sensitive plants, pipes, and/or irrigation systems. Thursday through Saturday...After a cold morning Thursday, spring will try to make a return with temperatures rising in the afternoon to mid 50s to mid 60s for higher terrain and low to mid 70s for the northern Arizona valleys. However, models indicate zonal flow that will likely limit warming Friday and into the weekend. Expect afternoon high temperatures to be near or just below seasonal averages with breezy southwest to westerly winds each day. && .AVIATION...For the 18Z package...Expect VFR conditions for the next 24 hours under varying amounts of mid to high-level cloud cover. Southwest to west winds at 5-15 kts gusting to 20-25 kts will increase to 10-20 kts gusting to 25-35 kts by 20Z, continuing until around 02Z. Overnight winds diminishing to 5-15 kts with gusts to 20 kts. Southwest winds will begin to increase again after 14Z Monday. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments. && .FIRE WEATHER...Look for gusty southwest winds today and tonight becoming strong Monday into Monday night. Local wind gusts near 60 mph will be possible later on Monday, especially from the Mogollon Rim northward. Otherwise, cooler temperatures and increasing relative humidity values are forecast. Ventilation very good to excellent both days. Tuesday through Thursday...Look for cold temperatures and a good chance of showers on Tuesday followed by dry conditions and warming temperatures for the remaining days. Gusty westerly winds will develop each afternoon. && .FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...High Wind Watch from Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon FOR AZZ013-014-016-017. High Wind Watch from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning FOR AZZ004>007-009>012-015-039-040. && PUBLIC...JJ AVIATION...MAS FIRE WEATHER...MAS For Northern Arizona weather information visit weather.gov/flagstaff
