Arizona – Frost coats windshields across Flagstaff this morning as clear skies lock in cold air over the high country. Streetlights reflect off icy patches, and the air bites early. Change arrives fast once the sun clears the trees.
Temperatures start in the upper 20s, well below freezing, before warming steadily through the morning. According to the National Weather Service, sunshine dominates today, pushing highs into the mid-50s. East winds increase through midday, with gusts over 20 mph adding a brisk edge to the afternoon.
Road conditions along I-40, US-180, and Route 66 remain mostly dry, but shaded areas may stay slick early. Drivers should use caution during the morning commute, especially on bridges and untreated side streets where refreeze lingers.
Tonight turns colder again, with lows dropping into the lower 30s as clouds increase. Friday brings a slight change. A weak system introduces a small chance of light showers late in the morning, though many areas stay dry. Highs still reach the mid-50s, helped by breaks of sun and light winds.
The weekend looks calmer and brighter. Saturday stays mostly sunny, with highs near 56 and light southwest winds. Sunday warms slightly more, topping out near 57 under clear skies. Snowpack around town softens during the day, then refreezes at night, keeping the risk of slick spots alive after sunset.
Looking ahead, early next week continues the gradual warm trend. Monday reaches the upper 50s, while Tuesday brings a renewed chance of rain and snow showers with gusty winds. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook leans warmer than normal for northern Arizona, hinting at fewer Arctic intrusions as February progresses.
