| Channel 3 November 3 weather forecast for Flagstaff, AZ |
It's true, people in Flagstaff, Arizona will wake to snow tomorrow morning. So isn't this a little early for snow?
Since most of us are here for the climate during the winter months, just the mention of snow gets your attention. Flagstaff is about two-and-one-half hours North of Phoenix, where people go to ski in the winter months, and escape the heat in the summer. The elevation is about 7,000 feet, and compared to Phoenix at 1,100 feet, you see why you can see snow one place and not the other.
Does it ever snow in Phoenix? It can, but it melts quickly. Don't come to Phoenix for snow.
So what about the averages?
- Lows in Phoenix average: 47 degrees Fahrenheit in November, and 40 degrees in December. January 39 degrees, February 43, and March 47.
- Highs in the same area average: November 74, and December 66. January 65 degrees, February 70, and March 75.
Flagstaff is much cooler in January - March with lows below 20 degrees, and average highs around 45 degrees. You get the idea - don't bring your tent to Flagstaff in the early spring months. And, don't laugh, I knew someone who did.
