AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
915 PM MST WED OCT 08 2008

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT. BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE
SUBSTANTIALLY AS A STORM SYSTEM STRENGTHENS OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
THIS STORM WILL BRING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES...CONTINUED STRONG
WINDS...AND A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WINDS ARE ALREADY INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY ALOFT THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF A DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SOME
SITES HAVE ALREADY MIXED OUT OF SHALLOW EVENING INVERSIONS...AND
OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL NEED TO BE RAISED.

EVENING MODELS ARE SIMILAR TO THE AFTERNOON RUNS INDICATING A VERY
STRONG SYSTEM ENTERING THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN TOMORROW...AND
SWINGING THROUGH WESTERN ARIZONA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. TO
THE SOUTH OF THIS TROUGH...MAJOR HURRICANE NORBERT IS ALREADY
SENDING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INTO NORTHERN MEXICO AND FAR SOUTHERN
ARIZONA. DOUGLAS ARIZONA IS REPORTING RAINFALL AT 9 PM MST.

MOST PROGS SUGGEST THIS MOISTURE WILL MOVE TOO FAR EAST TO FULLY
INTERACT WITH THE WESTERN TROUGH OVER ARIZONA...BUT ENOUGH WILL SO
THAT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE RIM...AND ESPECIALLY THE
WHITES AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE NEXT FEW SHIFTS WILL NEED TO
KEEP WATCHING THIS POSSIBLE INTERACTION CLOSELY...AS THE POTENTIAL
FOR A SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT EAST OF FLAGSTAFF CANNOT BE
RULED OUT JUST YET.

BACK TO THE WINDS...STRONG MIXING AND VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL
BE THE MAIN WEATHER HEADLINES THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WINDS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WILL ALREADY BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR A WIND ADVISORY OVER
THE NORTHWEST ZONES IN THE AFTERNOON. WE ARE WORKING ON AN ADVISORY
THAT WILL BE ISSUED LATER. WINDS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL BE IN AT
LEAST ADVISORY TERRITORY...IF NOT HIGH WIND WARNING AT TIMES. OUR
HWO ALREADY DISCUSSES THIS...THE WORDING WILL BE BEEFED UP A BIT.

SO...FORECAST IS ON TRACK...BUT WE WILL MAKE SOME TWEAKS TONIGHT.
TWEAKING THE WINDS SLIGHTLY UPWARD WILL RESULT IN A WIND ADVISORY
BEING ISSUED...AS ALREADY MENTIONED.

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 06Z PACKAGE...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT
24 HOURS. LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY...WITH MOST AREAS SEEING SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 15 TO 25 KTS
WITH GUSTS FROM 35 TO 40 KTS. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR
AMENDMENTS.

&&

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