Flagstaff, Ariz. – A thin layer of frost shimmered across rooftops early this morning as temperatures in Flagstaff hovered near 30°F before sunrise. The mountain air carried that unmistakable November bite — crisp, dry, and still — reminding residents that winter is inching closer with each clear dawn.
According to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff, sunshine will dominate through Monday with highs climbing into the mid-60s before pushing toward 67°F by Veterans Day. Winds will stay light, though gusts could briefly reach 18 mph Sunday afternoon along open stretches of I-40 and near higher ridges. Despite warm afternoons, lows in the lower 30s will keep frost concerns active through early week.
Drivers heading east or south during the early morning hours should watch for slick patches on shaded roads and bridges. Outdoor pipes, garden hoses, and livestock water sources could freeze briefly in outlying valleys. While this stretch remains dry, early signs of a pattern change appear later next week as models hint at cooler, wetter conditions moving toward the Four Corners.
For now, this mild window offers ideal travel weather ahead of Veterans Day events, early holiday errands, and late-season leaf cleanup. The calm before winter’s arrival may not last long — colder air is lining up to the north and could bring Flagstaff its first flakes before Thanksgiving.
