Arizona wakes under a gray, high-country sky as cold air clings to the pines.
Temperatures hover near 26 degrees early this morning in Flagstaff. Breath hangs in the air, and parked cars show a thin crust of frost. Roads along I-40 and US-180 remain dry, though bridges feel slick to the touch.
Clouds linger through the morning, but daylight quickly softens the chill. By afternoon, highs climb into the upper 50s, an impressive rebound for early February. A few sprinkles may develop after midday, though measurable precipitation looks unlikely. To be fair, most neighborhoods stay dry.
Tonight turns quieter. Skies gradually clear, and temperatures drop back into the mid-20s. Refreezing becomes a concern where moisture lingers. Plan extra caution on shaded roads after sunset.
Saturday continues the warming trend. Sunshine dominates, and highs approach 59 degrees. Winds stay light, keeping travel conditions favorable across northern Arizona. Outdoor plans benefit from the calm stretch.
Sunday brings the warmest air so far. Afternoon highs near 60 degrees feel almost springlike at 7,000 feet. Clear skies and light winds make it an ideal day to be outside.
Early next week stays mild. Monday reaches 61 degrees, while nights remain cold, dipping near freezing. By Tuesday and Wednesday, slight chances of rain and snow showers return, especially during the afternoon. Accumulations look minimal, but timing matters for commuters.
Looking into the 6–10 day window, temperatures trend above normal across much of Arizona. Winter is not finished, but its grip loosens.
Keep coats handy for mornings, sunglasses ready by noon, and watch for refreeze after dark.
