FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The air is sharp and still before dawn, the San Francisco Peaks glowing faintly in the early chill. Frost dusts the pine needles, and the town wakes to another crisp, calm start—classic November weather in northern Arizona.
The National Weather Service in Flagstaff reports steady, tranquil conditions through the weekend. Sunshine dominates the days, but temperatures remain on the cooler side, with lows near freezing each morning. Highs climb into the upper 60s Friday before tapering slightly into the lower 60s by Sunday. Skies stay clear from sunrise to sunset, with only a light west or northeast breeze stirring the mountain air.
Friday and Saturday will feel ideal for late-fall hikes or early holiday errands, though mornings will stay cold enough for frost on vehicles and rooftops. Gardeners should continue protecting tender plants, as nighttime readings hover near 32°F. By Sunday, light winds turn easterly and temperatures level near 62°F—still mild by Flagstaff standards, but a cool reminder that winter isn’t far behind.
Heading into Veterans Day week, conditions remain dry and stable. Monday and Tuesday will bring sunny skies and daytime highs near 67°F, perfect for parades, travel, or outdoor ceremonies. No rain or snow is expected through midweek, though longer-range models hint at a pattern shift later in November that could finally introduce the season’s first measurable snowfall to the region.
For now, Flagstaff sits in a sweet late-fall rhythm—crisp dawns, warm afternoons, and peaceful skies from rim to ridge. It’s the kind of weather that invites you outdoors, even as the chill whispers: winter’s on its way.
