Arizona — Frost clings to windshields across the high country as clear skies lock in a sharp early chill. The air feels brittle at sunrise, but sunlight quickly changes the tone across northern Arizona.
Flagstaff starts the morning near 27 degrees with calm conditions at Pulliam Airport. According to the National Weather Service, dry air and clear skies allow rapid warming by midday. Afternoon highs rebound into the upper 50s, keeping roads dry along I-40 and Highway 89.
The pattern stays steady into Tuesday. Monday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 59 degrees, though light winds increase by late morning. Tuesday follows with sunshine and highs near 56. Gusts may briefly reach 15 to 20 mph, especially during the afternoon, making it feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.
Nights remain the bigger concern. Temperatures fall into the mid-20s each night through midweek. Any melting snow refreezes after dark, raising the risk of slick patches on shaded roads, sidewalks, and parking lots. Drivers should slow down during early commutes and watch bridges closely.
Wednesday and Thursday stay dry and bright. Highs settle into the low-to-mid 50s, while overnight lows dip back near 25 to 28 degrees. No significant snow systems appear on the immediate horizon, even as colder air dominates much of the eastern United States.
Longer-range outlooks show below-normal precipitation chances across Arizona through the first full week of February. That keeps Flagstaff quiet but seasonably cold at night.
Layer up early, plan for icy spots after sunset, and enjoy the sunshine when it peaks.
