.SYNOPSIS...THE NEXT PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE GREAT
BASIN TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...THEN MOVE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AREA
THURSDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT ACROSS SOUTHEAST
ARIZONA WEDNESDAY. COOLER AIR WILL INVADE THE AREA BY LATE WEDNESDAY
WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FORECAST THURSDAY.  AN ISOLATED RAIN
OR SNOW SHOWER IS POSSIBLE FOR AREAS NORTHEAST OF THE TUCSON METRO
AREA FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. BY THE WEEKEND A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER SOUTHEAST ARIZONA...BRINGING MUCH WARMER
TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WINDS STILL SHOWING AN INCREASING TREND THIS AFTERNOON
BUT EXPECT THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER THAT

SOUTH SIDE OF LOW PRESSURE CROSSES SE AZ.  40 TO 50 KNOTS AT 700 MB
AND 65 TO 85 KNOTS AT 500 MB TO CROSS AREA AHEAD OF AND IN
CONJUNCTION WITH FROPA. EXPECT MOMENTUM TRANSFER TO SURFACE TO BE
OPTIMIZED DUE TO STEEP LAPSE RATES CORRESPONDING TO PEAK DIURNAL
HEATING.  GUIDANCE WIND SPEEDS SUSPICIOUSLY LOW BUT HAVE BUMPED UP
IN FORECAST TO WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.  HIGH WIND WARNING SUSTAINED
OR GUSTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY IN FAR SOUTHEAST.
HIGHER GUSTS ALSO POSSIBLE IN ANY SHOWERS THAT MAY DEVELOP FROM

INCLUDED MENTION OF BLOWING DUST IN ALL AREAS.

ESSENTIALLY WENT WITH GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH PERIOD WITH MINOR
MODIFICATIONS.  FOR EXAMPLE...TEMPS COULD BE HELD UP BY WINDS
TONIGHT. DIFFICULT TO ARGUE ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER WEDNESDAY AS COLD
ADVECTION VERSUS MIXING ALWAYS MAKES FOR A TOUGH CALL.  TENDED TO
TREND SLIGHTLY BELOW GUIDANCE WED NGT AND THU THOUGH ONCE COOLER AIR
IS FIRMLY IN PLACE AND WINDS BEGIN TO SUBSIDE.

THAT LOW WILL BOTTOM OUT...AND HANG OUT...OVER NEW MEXICO THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY WHICH WILL KEEP US ON THE COOL SIDE OF GUIDANCE FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND...HIGH AMPLITUDE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD OVER THE WESTERN US BRINGING ON THE HEAT...KD
