AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
230 PM MST WED AUG 6 2008

.SYNOPSIS...SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA FOR A
DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...LOTS OF ACTION LAST NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION...BUT THIS MORNINGS 12Z KTUS SOUNDING IS NOT QUITE AS
WORKED OVER AS WAS SHOWN AFTER OUR LAST EVENT SUNDAY. STARTING TO
SHOW A BIT MORE SHEAR WITH EASTERLY COMPONENT TO FLOW KICKING IN AT
MOST LEVELS NOW. PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS LOST A BIT...DOWN TO
1.62...AND PROBABLY WILL DRY MORE AS WE SEE DRIER AIR UPSTREAM IN
BOTH NEW MEXICO AND CHIHUAHUA PUSHING INTO EASTERN AREAS THIS
MORNING. EPZ WAS ACTUALLY JUST UNDER AN INCH. COMBINED WITH SLOWER
DEVELOPMENT DUE TO RECOVERING BOUNDARY LAYER ISSUES...EXPECT LESS
COVERAGE FOR VALLEY LOCATIONS TODAY BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE IS
UP A BIT. COULD HAVE SOME POTENTIAL ENERGY TO TAP INTO TONIGHT JUST
AFTER SUNSET...COVERAGE SHOULD CREEP BACK TOWARD THE SCATTERED RANGE
BEFORE SOME DEBRIS OVERNIGHT.

INVERTED TROUGH COMES INTO THE PICTURE BY FRIDAY WITH SECONDARY
IMPULSE ROTATING IN FROM THE EAST AHEAD OF THIS THURSDAY NIGHT. RAMP
UP AGAIN BY THURSDAY NIGHT (POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON) CARRYING INTO WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE A STRONG CONVECTIVE
WEEKEND WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED
FOR TAF AMENDMENTS.

&&

.TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
