FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms and the possibility of high elevation snow are in the forecast for parts of northern and eastern Arizona Friday, Nov. 6, as increasing cloud cover brings unsettled weather to the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff, showers are expected to develop throughout Friday, with the greatest precipitation chances concentrated across eastern Arizona.
Most locations receiving rainfall are expected to see relatively light amounts, generally around one tenth of an inch or less.
However, forecasters say isolated heavier showers could produce more than half an inch of precipitation in portions of eastern Arizona.
Eastern Arizona Faces Highest Rain Chances The forecast highlights areas around Show Low, Pinetop Lakeside, Springerville and the White Mountains as having greater opportunities for measurable precipitation.
While widespread heavy rainfall is not anticipated, isolated thunderstorms could develop during the day.
Residents should be prepared for changing conditions, including brief periods of heavier rain beneath stronger showers.
Communities farther west, including Flagstaff, generally face lower precipitation chances.
Snow Possible Above 8,000 Feet The National Weather Service expects snow levels to fall to approximately 8,000 feet , allowing some precipitation to fall as snow across higher mountain elevations.
Forecasters indicate that rain and snow accumulations will generally remain light, with significant snowfall not currently expected.
Higher elevation travelers and outdoor recreation enthusiasts should monitor conditions, especially where temperatures are cold enough to support snow.
Friday Travel Outlook Drivers across eastern Arizona could encounter wet roads and temporarily reduced visibility during showers or isolated thunderstorms.
Those traveling through mountainous terrain should remain aware of rapidly changing weather conditions.
The forecast does not indicate a widespread winter storm or major snow accumulation event.
Residents are encouraged to check updated local forecasts and radar through the National Weather Service at weather.gov/fgz before traveling.
