AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
835 AM MST TUE JUN 5 2007

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWEST WILL PROVIDE HOT AND
DRY CONDITIONS AGAIN TODAY BEFORE A STRONG PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN EXPECT STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO
DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TAKE
THE EDGE OFF OF THE AFTERNOON HEAT WITH SEVERAL DEGREES OF COOLING
THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MAIN STORY IS THE UPCOMING CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AND
UNUSUAL STRONG WIND PATTERN /AT LEAST FOR JUNE/ WED AS DEEP UPPER
TROUGH MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN. 12Z KTWC SOUNDING SHOWED THE
WINDS HAVE SWUNG AROUND TO THE WEST AND ARE INCREASING ALOFT...BUT
NOT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD RED FLAG ISSUES TODAY. AS PART OF
OUR UPPER AIR TRANSITION/TRAINING HERE TO WFO TUCSON...WE WILL BE
SENDING UP A SOUNDING WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR AND AGAIN AROUND NOON. IF
THESE SPECIAL RELEASES SHOW AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE TOO SOON... WE/LL
ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING. NOTE THAT THE DATA IS GOING OUT UNDER
AWIPS HEADER MANTWC /WMO HEADER USUS45 KTWC/... SGLTWC /UMUS45
KTWC/...AND ABVTWC /UFUS45 KTWC/. THE INTERNATIONAL UPPER AIR CODE
REMAINS THE SAME /72274/.

INCOMING MODELS SHOWING NO SURPRISES WITH THE TIGHTEST GRADIENT JUST
N AND E OF THE CWA TOMORROW. WITH DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES
EXTENDING ALL THE WAY PAST 600MB ON WED AND 500MB WINDS PROGGED TO
BE IN THE 50-60KT RANGE...AGREE WITH MID SHIFT THAT WE MAY NEED WIND
ADVISORIES ON TOP OF A LIKELY RED FLAG WARNING. ONE THING THAT MAY
SAVE US IS THAT THE BEST COLD ADVECTION WILL OCCUR EARLY IN THE DAY
WHICH MAY SUPPRESS MIXING JUST A BIT. BUT THAT IS ALL RELATIVE. MAY
NEED TO ADD SOME BLOWING DUST WORDING TO THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE AS
WELL. FINALLY...TEMPS TONIGHT ARE LIKELY TO BE TRICKY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS OVERNIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND. A STRONG PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
DEEPEN OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUESDAY...THEN MOVE ACROSS THE
GREAT BASIN WEDNESDAY. SOME INCREASE IN GUSTINESS WILL OCCUR
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT A MORE SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT IS EXPECT
WEDNESDAY. SUSTAINED 20-FOOT WINDS ACROSS FIRE ZONES 146...147...AND
148 ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 20 TO 25 MPH FROM LATE WEDNESDAY
MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. THESE STRONG WEST AND SOUTHWEST
WINDS...IN COMBINATION WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
TO LOWER TEENS...AND A HIGH TO VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER RATING...HAS
LED TO THE ISSUANCE OF A FIRE WEATHER WATCH. CONDITIONS MAY APPROACH
RED FLAG CRITERIA BRIEFLY IN A FEW LOCATIONS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
AGAIN THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...JUST SOME INSIGNIFICANT CIRRUS AND A COUPLE OF FLAT CU
OVER THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON WITH BASES AROUND 15KFT. EXPECT
SOME ENHANCEMENT IN THE TYPICAL AFTERNOON GUSTINESS WITH SW-W
SUSTAINED 10-20KTS WITH SOME LCL GUSTS APPROACHING 30 KTS AFT 18Z.
MUCH STRONGER WINDS EXPECTED WED WITH WLY GUSTS IN THE 35-45KT
RANGE POSSIBLE. WINDS LATE TONIGHT ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO MAKE
THE USUAL SWITCH TO LIGHT DOWNSLOPE E-SE AS WEST WINDS ALOFT
CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND TRY TO MIX TO THE SURFACE. THEY MAY GO
LIGHT BETWEEN 02-06Z...BUT SW-W WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY PREVALENT
AFTER 08Z. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR TAF OR TWEB
AMENDMENTS.

&&

.TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM
      WED MORNING-WED EVENING FIRE ZONES 146>148.
