AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
918 AM MST WED JUL 25 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS ARIZONA
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON...DIMINISHING DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MORNING SOUNDINGS INDICATE LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
AIRMASS SINCE YESTERDAY. DEEP MOISTURE IS PRESENT WITH MID LEVEL
FLOW OF 10-15 KT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...120-130 PERCENT OF NORMAL. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER
ACROSS CENTRAL COCONINO COUNTY SHOULD DELAY ONSET OF DEEP CONVECTION
IN THAT AREA...BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES OVER THE YAVAPAI CO
MTNS...EASTERN MOGOLLON RIM AND MUCH OF APACHE AND NAVAJO COUNTIES
THIS MORNING POINT TO AN EARLY START. THE MAIN THREAT WITH STORMS
TODAY WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS THE STORMS WILL BE EFFICIENT
RAINFALL PRODUCERS. A FEW AREAS MAY SEE ENOUGH RAIN FOR SMALL STREAM
FLOOD ADVISORIES LATER TODAY...BUT THE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE
LOW ENOUGH THAT NO FLASH FLOOD WATCHES ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME. A
FEW STORMS MAY ALSO CONTAIN HAIL AROUND A HALF INCH IN DIAMETER.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...(230 AM MST WED JUL 25)...BY THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...A DEVELOPING SURGE IN THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA WILL ONLY
SERVE TO INCREASE MOISTURE VALUES ACROSS THE STATE. WE WILL CONTINUE
HIGH SCATTERED TO LIKELY POPS RIGHT ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND...IF NOT
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD. IT WILL BE VERY
DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT UP AND DOWN DAYS IN SUCH A MOISTURE RICH
AIRMASS WITH HEAVY DEBRIS CLOUD EVERY NIGHT...SO WE WILL JUST STAY
FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE FORECASTS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL DAYS. PETERSON.

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 18Z PACKAGE...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP AFTER 18Z AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS ACCOMPANYING THE STRONGER STORMS. THE MAIN THREAT WITH
STORMS WILL BE REDUCED VISIBILITY IN HEAVY RAIN. OTHERWISE...EXPECT
CEILINGS OF 12 TO 17 KFT MSL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDMENTS.

&&

.FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
