FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Northern Arizona will experience a mix of weather conditions over the next few days as dry air mass moves in from the west. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will primarily affect portions of the White Mountains and eastern Mogollon Ring through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Flagstaff.
Isolated storms will develop over eastern Arizona on Saturday, with activity moving to the White Mountains on Sunday and Monday. The Mogollon Rim and White Mountains will face isolated thunderstorms on Tuesday and Wednesday. These storms are expected to be scattered and have limited impact over the region.
The overall weather pattern shows a return to dry conditions with high pressure strengthening this weekend. This shift could result in more stable and favorable weather, reducing the likelihood of widespread thunderstorms. Flagstaff itself will enjoy sunny skies throughout the forecast, with nighttime temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-80s during the day.
Residents in affected areas should stay informed of the latest weather conditions and be prepared for sudden changes, especially at higher elevations where thunderstorms can develop rapidly. The National Weather Service advises caution during outdoor activities, especially in the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim areas.
