Flagstaff, Arizona – Arizona’s high country will sizzle under bright skies and gusty winds Friday as temperatures in Flagstaff climb to 87°F by afternoon — a pattern that will hold strong through Father’s Day weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff, southwest winds will increase to 9–16 mph Friday, with gusts as high as 26 mph in exposed areas. These breezy, dry conditions are expected to persist across Coconino County, heightening fire weather concerns and making travel on I-40 potentially challenging for high-profile vehicles.
Daytime highs will remain in the mid-to-upper 80s through Monday, with Saturday and Sunday both topping out near 88°F. Nighttime lows will stay seasonably cool, ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s.
Residents are urged to avoid open flames, secure outdoor items, and hydrate during peak heat hours. If hiking or camping this weekend, check with the U.S. Forest Service for fire restrictions in areas surrounding Flagstaff and Sedona.
While skies will stay clear through the weekend, winds will increase slightly Sunday into Monday, reaching up to 29 mph by Monday afternoon. No rain is expected during this stretch, and visibility remains high.
More breezy afternoons are expected into early next week, with Tuesday and Wednesday staying sunny and warm.
