AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
200 PM MST TUE APR 4 2006

.SYNOPSIS...THE TAIL END OF A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT
SOUTHEAST ARIZONA LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WAS
LOCATED OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL
MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE GREAT BASIN REGION BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
MOISTURE INCREASING IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS
OR SPRINKLES TO THE AREA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE MAIN
THREAT FROM THIS STORM WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH
AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ON WEDNESDAY. TRANQUIL WEATHER WILL RETURN BY
FRIDAY AS ANOTHER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST.
&&

.DISCUSSION...MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUED TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SPINNING OFF THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. LATEST NAM AND GFS SOLUTIONS WERE SOMEWHAT
SIMILAR IN TRACKING THE SYSTEM INLAND TONIGHT AND INTO THE GREAT
BASIN REGION WEDNESDAY. THE GFS MODEL SHOWED A NARROW BAND OF PRECIP
DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHEAST ARIZONA WHICH MIGHT BE SOME INDICATION
OF AN INCREASING POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES THIS
EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. NAM SOLUTION WAS NOT AS AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS
OF PRECIP CHANCES...BUT IT DID SHOW AN INCREASE IN MID LEVEL
MOISTURE BY 06Z WED. AT ANY RATE...THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR
THE AIRMASS TO MOISTURE UP FROM THE TOP-DOWN ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GREAT
BASIN...MODELS DEPICT A DRY SLOT SPREADING INTO THE SOUTHWEST
DESERTS OF ARIZONA BY 18Z WED AND ACROSS THE REST OF SOUTHEAST
ARIZONA BY 00Z THU. THE CURRENT WIND FORECAST HINGES ON THE TIMING
OF THIS DRY SLOT. FOR NOW...WILL CALL FOR THIS DRIER AIR ALOFT TO
REACH THE TUCSON AREA BY 18Z AND SPREAD TO AROUND DOUGLAS BY 22Z
WED. THIS DRY SLOT SHOULD HELP THE AFTERNOON MIXING AND TRANSLATION
OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT TO THE SURFACE. BOTH NAM AND GFS MODELS
SWING A 50+KNOT SPEED MAXIMUM AT 700MB OVER SOUTHEAST ARIZONA
BETWEEN 12Z WED AND 00Z THU. BASED ON THE TIMING OF THE DRY SLOT AND
INCREASING WINDS ALOFT...WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR MOST OF THE
CWA. LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO CONSIDER UPGRADING COCHISE COUNTY TO A
HIGH WIND WARNING IF LATER MODEL RUNS SHOW A SLIGHTLY STRONGER 700MB
FLOW. THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE STATE BY MID MORNING THURSDAY
WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND IT THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY SATURDAY. EXPECT A NOTICEABLE DROP IN
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WITH HIGHS ONLY CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER TO MID
70S IN THE DESERTS. ONCE THE SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION...HIGH PRESSURE
ALOFT SHOULD RESULT IN A RAPID WARMUP BY FRIDAY WITH HIGHS REACHING
THE MID TO POSSIBLY UPPER 80S IN THE DESERTS FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WITH A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OF THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA COAST...WINDS THIS EVENING WILL INCREASE INTO THE BREEZY
CATEGORY AT A FEW LOCATIONS. THE STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT...MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN ON WEDNESDAY AND
EARLY THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BRING
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS AREAWIDE ON WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WINDS TOMORROW WILL BE
FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 20 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 50 MPH POSSIBLE.
A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES
146...148...AND NORTHEASTERN 147 (SOUTHEAST PINAL COUNTY) TOMORROW.
RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 15 PERCENT TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...BUT WILL THE SITUATION WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED. HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT WILL THEN BUILD BACK ACROSS THE REGION LATE IN THE
WEEK THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND FOR A RETURN TO DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS.
&&

.AVIATION...TAFS AND TWEBS ADEQUATELY COVER ALL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
AT KTUS. OVERCAST SKIES TODAY AND THROUGH TOMORROW...WITH CEILINGS
NEAR 12KFT MSL. ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN AFTER
10Z ON APRIL 5TH...WITH CEILINGS DROPPING AS LOW AS 6KFT AGL WITH
THESE SHOWERS. ALSO EXPECT VERY STRONG WINDS TOMORROW WITH SURFACE
WINDS SPEEDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST OF 20 TO 35 MPH AND GUSTS NEAR 45
MPH.
&&

.TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...WIND ADVISORY WEDNESDAY FROM 9AM
TO 7PM MST FOR ZONES 19/29/30/33-35.
