Pressure and weather in Flagstaff

Flagstaff sits high in the mountains of northern Arizona, ringed by ponderosa pine forest at nearly 7,000 feet, where the thin air and rapidly changing mountain weather keep barometric pressure in motion year-round. Winter storms rolling in off the Pacific, summer monsoon thunderstorms, and strong day-to-night swings can move the air pressure today quickly, and many residents notice barometric pressure headaches when a front or storm arrives. A barometric pressure forecast for Flagstaff helps you see when the current barometric pressure is about to change so you can plan around weather migraine days. The 24-hour pressure trend is especially useful during snowy winters and the stormy summer monsoon.
