AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
210 PM MST THU DEC 6 2007

.SYNOPSIS...TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE WEST WITH A COLDER AIR MASS
MOVING INTO SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY.
THE MOST NOTABLE WEATHER CHANGE WILL BE COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH
SUNDAY BEING ABOUT 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY. ADDITIONALLY EXPECT
SCATTERED VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS LATE FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THIS UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK AS SEVERAL DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...TWO PRIMARY DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEASTERN
ARIZONA. THE FIRST ONE TOMORROW AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING
AND SECOND ONE LATE SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY MONDAY. BOTH
SYSTEMS WILL HAVE SCATTERED VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS.
THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL COOL US DOWN FROM OUR ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND MAKE FRIDAY A BREEZY TO WINDY DAY. THE SECOND
SYSTEM WILL HELP MAINTAIN THE UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN AND DIG THE
COLDER AIR FURTHER SOUTH. BOTH OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE MUCH LESS
MOISTURE AND ARE MUCH COLDER THAN THE STORM LAST WEEKEND.

THE MODELS HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY PINNING DOWN THE EXACT PATH OF THE
FIRST SYSTEM. CURRENTLY SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS ARE GREATEST IN
SOUTHERN ARIZONA WHICH HELPS SUPPORT A TRACK NEAR THE UTAH ARIZONA
BORDER. THE LATEST MODELS DEPICT THIS TRACK TOO SO THE CURRENT
FORECASTS ARE BASED ON THIS ASSUMPTION. THE SUNDAY SYSTEM TRACKS
MUCH FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH SOUTHERN ARIZONA AND WILL DEFINITELY
CONTINUE THIS COOL STORMY PATTERN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

A WIND ADVISORY AND SNOW ADVISORY ARE BEING ISSUED FOR NORTHERN
GREENLEE COUNTY ABOVE 7000 FEET ON FRIDAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONG AT
MOST LOCATIONS ON FRIDAY...BUT APPEAR TO ONLY HIT ADVISORY CRITERIA
IN THE WHITES. ADDITIONALLY SINCE THE STORM TRACK IS THROUGH THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE...ONLY EXPECT THE WHITE MOUNTAINS TO
GET ENOUGH SNOW FOR ADVISORY CRITERIA. WILL LIKELY SEE SOME WHITE ON
THE CATALINA... PINALENO AND SANTA RITA MOUNTAINS BY LATE
SATURDAY...BUT DONT EXPECT OVER 4 INCHES ACCUMULATION IN A 12 HOUR
PERIOD.
