AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
1256 PM MST SAT NOV 26 2005

.SYNOPSIS...A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH REGION TONIGHT INTO
EARLY SUNDAY. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL SWEEP
THROUGH SOUTHEAST ARIZONA BY SUNDAY...BRINGING MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES...GUSTY WINDS...AND A FEW SNOW SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHERN
WHITE MOUNTAINS. IT WILL BE DRY AND CHILLY AS WE BEGIN THE NEW WEEK
BEFORE A SLOW WARMING TREND UNDER WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS BY
WEDNESDAY.
&&

.DISCUSSION...SEVERAL THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT BEFORE MONDAY AS
A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL TAKE PLACE. THE FIRST CONCERN
WILL BE THE WIND THIS AFTERNOON AND MORE SO SUNDAY. LATEST MOS
GUIDANCE AND THE PROGGED 700MB WINDS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS
SUGGESTED THAT SURFACE WINDS WILL PICKUP THIS AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE
TO A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA.
SO FAR...WINDS HAVE NOT BEEN TOO STRONG AND FIRE WEATHER RED FLAG
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY NOT BE MET TODAY. MODELS SHOWED THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH CLIPPING NORTHEAST ARIZONA LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
THIS FEATURE HAD SOME IMPRESSIVE JET DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR
A CHANCE OF PRECIP IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS. THE ONLY LIMITING FACTOR
WILL BE THE LACK OF MOISTURE. HOWEVER...BASED ON THE TIMING TONIGHT
AND THE STRONG DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH IT...A QUICK 1 TO 3 INCHES
OF SNOW IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS WILL NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION. A
SURFACE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE WILL USHER IN MUCH
COOLER AIR TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. MODELS SHOWED A STRONG SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPING ACROSS THE STATE BEHIND THE FRONT WHICH
WILL RESULT IN SUSTAINED STRONG WINDS SUNDAY. LATEST MOS GUIDANCE
SUGGESTED THAT DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES WILL CRASH SOMETIME SUNDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING. THESE GUIDANCE VALUES EVEN WITH THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THUS...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL BE POSTED FOR MAINLY
GRAHAM AND COCHISE COUNTIES. REFER TO FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW AND
PRODUCT AWIPS HEADER PHXRFWTWC OR WMO HEADER WWUS85 TO BE ISSUED
BEFORE 3PM MST THIS AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WAS
PROGGED BY BOTH THE NAM AND GFS MODELS TO WEAKEN SUNDAY NIGHT.
LIGHTER WIND SPEEDS...LESS CLOUDS...AND A COOLER AIRMASS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR THE FIRST POSSIBLE FREEZE OF THE SEASON AROUND TUCSON
AND ACROSS PARTS OF PINAL COUNTY SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING. REFER
TO AWIPS HEADER PHXHWOTWC OR WMO HEADER FLUS45 FOR MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION ON THE UPCOMING WEATHER CHANGES FOR YOUR AREA. FOR THE
REST OF NEXT WEEK...IT WILL REMAIN DRY BUT TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
BACK UP WITH HIGHS HOVERING AROUND NORMAL.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A SURFACE COLD FRONT EXTENDED ACROSS WESTERN ARIZONA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SURFACE FRONT AND THE ASSOCIATED
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SUNDAY. SURFACE WINDS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
IN SPEED THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEN DIMINISH A BIT IN THE VALLEYS
AFTER SUNDOWN. WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY OVERNIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET AS THE WINDS ALOFT INCREASE WITH THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THE REGION. SLIGHTLY BETTER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT. WIND AND
HUMIDITY READINGS WILL BECOME MORE OF A CONCERN SUNDAY AS POST
FRONTAL WINDS INCREASE IN SPEED AND THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH DEEPENS
EAST OF THE ROCKIES. THE COMBINATION OF A VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER
RATING...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS...AND VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
WILL COME TOGETHER ACROSS EASTERN FIRE WEATHER ZONE 148 SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED THAT DEWPOINT READINGS
WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...SO MUCH THAT THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFSET THE DRYING FOR HIGHER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES. THE TIMING OF WHEN THE DEWPOINT READINGS
DROP WILL BE TRICKY...BUT THERE WAS ENOUGH CONFIDENCE ON THIS DRYING
TREND THAT A FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL BE POSTED FOR EASTERN ZONE 148
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THIS WATCH WILL INCLUDE COCHISE
AND GRAHAM COUNTIES. AFTER SUNDAY...FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE WITH LESS WIND EXPECTED. HOWEVER...THE DRY AIR WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.CLIMATE...THE TUCSON AREA AND SOUTHEAST PINAL COUNTY COULD SEE
THEIR FIRST FREEZE OF THE SEASON SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING. A
WEATHER SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE STATE
BY SUNDAY MORNING USHERING IN MUCH COOLER AIR. POST FRONTAL WINDS
WILL BE GUSTY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL DIMINISH CONSIDERABLY BY
SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A POSSIBLE FREEZE IN
TUCSON AND MORE LIKELY IN THE OUTLYING AREAS OF TOWN WHICH COULD
EXPERIENCE A HARD FREEZE IN SPOTS. THE AVERAGE FIRST FREEZE DATE AT
TUCSON IS NOV 24TH. THE FIRST FREEZE LAST YEAR IN TUCSON WAS NOV
30TH. THE EARLIEST FREEZE WAS OCT 16TH BACK IN 1899.
&&

.AVIATION...TAF AND TWEBS ADEQUATELY COVER ALL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
AT KTUS.
&&

.TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...FIRE WEATHER WATCH SUNDAY
 AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING FOR EASTERN FWX ZONE 148.
