Flagstaff, AZ – Northern Arizona is preparing for a shift in weather beginning Saturday evening as thunderstorms and cooler temperatures are forecast to hit the region. The National Weather Service warns that showers and storms could start late Saturday and continue through Monday, with significant impacts expected in Flagstaff, Prescott, and Sedona.
According to the latest forecast, highs will drop from the 70s and 80s over the weekend to the mid-60s by Tuesday. Areas above 7,000 feet, including parts of Flagstaff, may experience overnight lows near freezing by midweek, making it critical for residents to monitor the weather closely.
The thunderstorms could lead to localized flooding and slick roads, so drivers are urged to use caution, particularly in the evenings when storm activity is expected to be heaviest. Outdoor plans should be reconsidered as conditions will remain wet and cool through Monday.
As the weather system passes, cooler, drier air will settle in by Tuesday, offering some relief after the storms. Residents should stay updated with local weather alerts and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions starting Saturday night.
