AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
220 PM MST THU JUN 29 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTHWARD BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK MAINTAINING A MOIST EASTERLY FLOW OVER SOUTHEAST ARIZONA.
THIS WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
NEXT WEEK AS THE HIGH BECOMES POSITIONED NORTH OF ARIZONA. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER AROUND SEASONAL READINGS THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...AND BE MODERATED SOME NEXT WEEK WITH THE INCREASE IN
THUNDERSTORMS.
&&

.DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING NICELY IN THE HIGH
COUNTRY FROM THE KAIBAB PLATEAU SOUTHEAST ALONG THE MOGOLLON RIM
INTO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS. PROPAGATION OF THESE STORMS WAS TOWARD THE
SOUTHWEST WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED ALONG THE MOUNTAIN CHAINS
ACROSS GRAHAM COUNTY THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WERE ALSO STARTING TO SHOW UP ON RADAR NEAR NOGALES SOUTH INTO
NORTHERN SONORA MEXICO. STILL EXPECT THE CURRENT ACTIVITY TO
GENERATE STRONG ENOUGH COLD POOLS AT THE SURFACE TO TRIGGER
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS FARTHER WEST AS THE DAY GOES ON. THE MAIN
THREAT WILL BE STRONG THUNDERSTORM WINDS WHICH COULD BE SEVERE. IF
STORMS MANAGE TO DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF OUR CENTRAL AND WESTERN
CWA...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL COULD BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE...THE LATEST GFS MODEL SUGGESTED THAT PATTERN WILL REMAIN
SOMEWHAT THE SAME TOMORROW INTO THE WEEKEND WITH THE HIGH
DRIFTING A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH BY SUNDAY. THIS MAY LEAD TO A SLIGHT
DECREASE IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...EARLY
NEXT WEEK THE GFS SHOWED THE UPPER HIGH AMPLIFYING OVER THE WESTERN
STATES WITH THE ANTICYCLONE BECOMING CENTERED NORTH OF ARIZONA. THIS
AMPLIFYING RIDGE WILL DEEPEN THE EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT...AND OPEN THE
DOOR FOR DISTURBANCES IN THE EASTERLIES TO IMPACT SOUTHEAST ARIZONA
NEXT WEEK. OVERALL...WILL CALL FOR AN UPSWING IN THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY NEXT WEEK STARTING AROUND TUESDAY. WILL LIKELY SEE HIGH
TEMPERATURES INCREASE A FEW DEGREES AND LEVEL OFF OVER THE WEEKEND
BEFORE LOWERING NEXT WEEK WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF HIGHER MOISTURE
LEVELS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE REGION
THROUGH NEXT WEEK CONTINUING THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT.
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...COMBINED WITH DAYTIME
HEATING WILL RESULT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. OVERNIGHT RELATIVE HUMIDITIES RECOVERIES
WILL REMAIN FAIR OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS.
&&

.AVIATION...TAFS AND TWEBS ADEQUATELY COVER ALL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
AT KTUS.
