NORTHERN ARIZONA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
230 PM MST SUN AUG 27 2000

SYNOPSIS...MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS ARIZONA FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
EACH DAY THROUGHOUT THE WORK WEEK OVER NORTHERN ARIZONA WHILE
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL.

DISCUSSION...MOST OF THE ACTION TODAY OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH ESPECIALLY HEAVY ACTIVITY OVER EASTERN
COCONINO COUNTY. LATEST SAT IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF MOISTURE
CONTINUING TO TRAIL NORTHWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL CWA.
WITH CONTINUING STEADY SUPPLY OF MOISTURE...ACTIVITY SHOULD LAST
WELL INTO THE EVENING MOST PLACES AND POSSIBLY ALL NIGHT OVER SOME
OF THE ZONES. ETA DOES A RELATIVELY GOOD JOB OF DEPICTING
MOISTURE STREAM MOVING NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN CWA THROUGH
TUESDAY. BROAD RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN CONUS SLIDES SLOWLY
EASTWARD...BUT FLOW PATTERN LOOKS GOOD FOR CONTINUED HIGH PW
VALUES...ESPECIALLY OVER YAVAPAI COUNTY...THE WESTERN RIM
COUNTRY...THE COCONINO PLATEAU AND THE CANYON THROUGH TUESDAY. ONCE
AGAIN...THE NORTHEASTERN CWA HAS BEEN LEFT OUT OF MOST OF THE ACTION
WITH ONLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON ACTIVITY. DO NOT SEE MUCH
CHANGE TO THIS THRU TUESDAY AS LONG AS PATTERN HOLDS.

IN THE EXTENDED...ALTHOUGH MRF INDICATES A DRYING TREND BY
FRIDAY...DO NOT TRUST IT ENOUGH THAT FAR DOWN TH)E ROAD TO MAKE ANY
MAJOR CHANGES TO THE OUTLOOK PERIOD. WILL CONTINUE TO BROAD BRUSH
WITH CHANCE PRECIP WORDING EVERYWHERE.

KREITNER

.FGZ...NONE.
