AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
245 PM MST FRI AUG 31 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. ENOUGH
MOISTURE REMAINS FOR A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
EACH DAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL
ARIZONA. A PACIFIC TROF WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN A COOLING TREND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
THE 300/250 MB PACIFIC SHORTWAVE THAT CAME ASHORE YESTERDAY AND
DEVELOPED NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOHAVE DESERT OF CA AND
NORTHERN AZ...WAS STILL SEEN IN THE PLOT DATA THIS MORNING.  SINCE
THE 300/250 MB HIGH CENTERS WILL BE MOVING FROM NEAR YUMA THIS
MORNING TO OFFSHORE SAN DIEGO THIS EVENING...A PIECE OF THIS UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL LIKELY ROTATE AROUND THE UPPER HIGH CENTERS
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN AZ THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. 21Z SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED
DEVELOPING 50 THSD FOOT THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOGOLLON RIM AND
WHITE MOUNTAINS...REFLECTING THIS DISTURBANCE...AND ANY WEST AND
SOUTHWARD MOVING THUNDERSTORMS WILL GIVE THE SOUTH CENTRAL
DESERTS...INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA...A CHANCE OF STORMS BY
EVENING.

ALSO...MONSOON MOISTURE LEVELS WERE EXCESSIVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST CA
AND SOUTHWEST AZ.  THE 12Z SAN DIEGO SOUNDING MEASURED 2.03 INCHES
OF PRECIP WATER WHILE PHOENIX RECORDED 1.71 INCHES. FLAGSTAFF WAS
ALSO A RESPECTABLE 0.93 INCHES. THEREFORE...TSTMS DEVELOPING OVER
THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AZ LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WILL LIKELY TAP THIS MOISTURE AND REDEVELOP ADDITIONAL
STORMS ALONG CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. DUE TO VERY HIGH PRECIP
WATER AMOUNTS...ANY THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE DESERTS WILL BE HEAVY
RAINERS...AND THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IS HIGH. WE WILL KEEP A
VIGIL THIS EVENING TO SEE HOW THE CHARACTER AND COVERAGE OF TSTMS
DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL AZ MOUNTAINS...THEN MAKE A DECISION ON THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY HYDROLOGICAL PRODUCTS FOR THIS EVENING.

FOR SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE 300/250 MB HIGH CENTERS GRADUALLY
SHIFT FROM NEAR LOS ANGELES SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO SOUTHWEST UT BY
MONDAY EVENING. AS A RESULT...UPPER LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY CURRENTS
WILL CONTINUE OVER AZ...ALONG WITH EMBEDDED PERTURBATIONS...
PROVIDING A THREAT FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL AZ EACH DAY THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
UPPER LEVEL DEFORMATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH MANY MORE DISTURBANCES
WILL KEEP THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS GOING IN
SOUTH CENTRAL AZ...AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST AZ MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
AUGUST 31 2100 UTC (AUGUST 31 1400 MST)

BY 2000Z...NEW CONVECTION HAS FORMED IN SHORT LINES OR CLUSTERS OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN NORTH THROUGH NORTHEAST OF KPHX/KIWA. STEERING FLOW
CONTINUES NORTHEAST AT 14 KTS...AT LEAST THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT.
PHOENIX AREA AIRPORTS COULD SEE SOME OUTFLOWS SIMILAR TO THURSDAYS
AND WEDNESDAYS...WITH GUSTS TO 35 KTS OR SO. TSTMS COULD FORM AND
PROPAGATE SOUTHWEST ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES AFTER ABOUT 00Z...A BIT
FASTER THAN EXPECTED THIS MORNING. EXPECTING BETTER CHANCES OF SOME
LOWER VSBYS...LIKE 2-4 MILES IN TSTMS/RAIN SHOWERS THIS
EVENING...COMPARED TO YESTERDAY.

OUT WEST...SIMILAR TRENDS EXPECTED...WITH SLIGHT CHANCES OF
PRECIP...BUT MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND
SOME LOW VSBYS AGAIN. UPDATES MAY BE NEEDED AFTER 2300Z.

SEE TAFS PHXTAFPHX...PHXTAFIWA...PHXTAFYUM...LAXTAFBLH AND LAXTAFIPL

.FIRE WEATHER...
AUGUST 31 2130 UTC (AUGUST 31 1430 MST)

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN
BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN LOWER DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES. THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR A CHANCE OF

SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER DESERTS
