AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
910 AM MST TUE MAY 20 2008

.SYNOPSIS...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THE HOT
TEMPERATURES TODAY. AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
VERY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...FOLLOWED MY MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A FEW SHOWERS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ANOTHER DAY OF HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED
TODAY AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVERHEAD. RECORD TO NEAR
RECORD TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THE RIDGE
WEAKENS AND SHIFTS EAST LATER TODAY. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM...CENTERED OVER THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS THIS MORNING WILL
STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH MIDWEEK. AS IT
DOES A VERY TIGHT AND DEEP PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHERN ARIZONA RESULTING IN STRONG WINDS AHEAD OF THE MOISTURE
ON WEDNESDAY. SOUTHWEST WIND SPEEDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45
MPH CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE LOWER TERRAIN AND 30 TO 40 MPH WITH
GUSTS TO 50 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
THEREFORE...A WIND ADVISORY WILL MOST LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR
WEDNESDAY. ALSO...WILL MOSTLY LIKELY UPGRADE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR WEDNESDAY TO A RED FLAG WARNING.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE WESTERN STATES TODAY AND ENTER ARIZONA WEDNESDAY MORNING
PRODUCING THE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS. ON THURSDAY THE MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF RAIN AS
EXCELLENT DYNAMICS AND COOLER AIR COMBINE OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE MID
80S OVER THE VALLEYS AND INTO THE 50S AND 60S OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. AN ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH SOUTHERN
ARIZONA...AND ALTHOUGH MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED...THE STRENGTH OF
THE SYSTEM WILL CAUSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO
SATURDAY. EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF SNOW IN ELEVATIONS ABOVE 8000 FEET
EXISTS FOR OVERNIGHT PERIODS.

ON SUNDAY HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD FROM THE SOUTHEAST AS A LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN STATES. THESE TWO PRESSURE
CENTERS WILL BATTLE INTO NEXT WEEK WITH THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
INDICATING THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD STRONG OVER MEXICO. THIS
WILL RESULT IN THE START OF A WARMING TREND THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY...KEEPING
WINDS DIURNALLY DRIVEN ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME AFTERNOON
GUSTINESS DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL HEATING. DEEP LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL DROP SOUTH OVER THE GREAT BASIN
WEDNESDAY...TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND GIVING RISE TO VERY
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS FOR WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY. SUSTAINED 20
FOOT WIND SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH ARE
EXPECTED IN MUCH OF COCHISE COUNTY AS WELL AS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
GREENLEE COUNTY WHILE THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHEAST ARIZONA WILL SEE
WINDS RANGING FROM 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. WHILE VERY DRY AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
WEDNESDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL AND MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO FILTER
IN TO SOUTHEAST ARIZONA THURSDAY...HELPING RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
UP OUT OF THE BASEMENT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DRY AIR WILL KEEP A
FOOTHOLD IN COCHISE COUNTY AS AFTERNOON RH VALUES ON THURSDAY ARE
EXPECTED TO STILL SIT JUST AT OR A LITTLE UNDER RED FLAG CRITERIA.
THAT SAID...THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN PLACE FOR WEDNESDAY WILL
LIKELY BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECAST
PACKAGE. WILL ALSO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THURSDAY AT THAT
TIME...THOUGH MAY LIMIT ITS SCOPE ONLY TO COCHISE COUNTY. THOUGH
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT GOING INTO FRIDAY...WINDS WILL REMAIN
RIGHT AT THE RED FLAG THRESHOLD FOR LOCATIONS WITHIN COCHISE AND
NORTHERN GREENLEE COUNTY INTO THE WEEKEND...THOUGH BY THAT
POINT...MOISTURE WILL HAVE MADE ITS WAY INTO SOUTHEAST ARIZONA
KEEPING RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OUTSIDE OF CRITERIA.

&&

.AVIATION...MOSTLY CLEAR TODAY WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE DOMINANT.
SEASONABLE DIURNAL WINDS. MUCH STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS...30-40
KTS...EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT
UPDATED FOR TAF AMENDMENTS.

&&

.CLIMATE...TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OFFICIALLY HIT 100 DEG F AT
12:10 PM MST YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WAS ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN THE
AVERAGE DATE OF THE FIRST 100 DEG OCCURRENCE...MAY 26TH. EXPECT
ANOTHER DAY OVER 100 DEGREES TODAY FOR MANY LOCATIONS...WITH A FEW
SPOTS NEARING OR EXCEEDING RECORD HIGHS.
