AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TUCSON AZ
915 PM MST WED JAN 20 2010

.SYNOPSIS...JUST A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING
BEFORE A VERY STRONG WINTER STORM AFFECTS THE REGION THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS STORM WILL BRING THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...AND HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW.
IMPROVING WEATHER CAN BE ANTICIPATED BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE
ANOTHER...MUCH WEAKER SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ADDITIONAL LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE BEING IMPORTED FROM
THE SOUTH WITH A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS UNDER LOW LEVEL CU DECKS
SPREADING IN FROM NORTHERN SONORA. MAIN SYSTEM STILL IN CALIFORNIA
WITH VERY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THURSDAY
AND HEAVY PRECIP AND MOUNTAIN SNOW LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. AFTER
FIRST PERIOD UPDATE FOR EARLIER THAN EXPECTED LIGHT SHOWER
ACTIVITY...CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE LOOKS GOOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...SATELLITE INDICATES A 972MB SURFACE LOW OFF
OFF THE N CA COAST IS OCCLUDING... WITH A SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPING
NEAR 36N/140W. IT IS THIS LOW THAT IS EXPECTED TO BOMB BELOW 980MB
BEFORE MOVING INTO S CA AND NV ON FRI. AHEAD OF IT...MODELS HAVE
BEEN CONSISTENTLY DEVELOPING AN N-S ORIENTED 80KT 850MB JET ALONG
THE CO RIVER AND GRADUALLY TRANSLATING IT E ACROSS SE AZ LATE THU
AFTERNOON INTO FRI MORNING. TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE...A 50KT
850MB JET LAST NIGHT MANAGED TO GIVE US 35-45MPH VALLEY GUSTS AND
60-69MPH GUSTS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FAVORED LEEWARD SLOPES. A 70KT
850MB JET DEC 7-8 GAVE US 50-65MPH VALLEY GUSTS AND 70-90MPH GUSTS
IN THE MOUNTAINS/LEE SLOPES. IT WILL NOT BE THIS WINDY FOR HOURS ON
END...BUT LIKE WE SAW LAST NIGHT AND THE DEC 7/8 EVENT...ALL WE WILL
NEED ARE SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSTMS TO TRANSFER ALL THAT
MOMENTUM TO THE SURFACE. NO CHANGES TO THE HIGH WIND WATCH...OTHER
THAN THE ADJUSTMENT WE MADE EARLIER TO BEEF UP GUSTS EVEN MORE WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...PROBABLY IN THE 60-70MPH RANGE IN THE
DESERTS...AND PERHAPS HURRICANE FORCE IN OUR FAVORED MOUNTAIN AND
LEE SLOPE AREAS. NOTE THAT OUR AREA IS ALSO UNDER A 5 PCT THREAT OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THU AFTERNOON/NIGHT PER SPC DAYS 2 AND 3
OUTLOOKS...MOSTLY FROM KTUS WEST. THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE HAD
ENOUGH...WIDESPREAD RAIN LAST NIGHT TO MITIGATE ANY BLOWING DUST
ISSUES.

WHILE HIGH WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR S AZ...THIS WILL ALSO BE
A WET STORM. WE NOW HAVE MOISTURE IN PLACE IN THE WAKE OF LAST
NIGHT'S STORM...SO ONCE PIECES OF ENERGY BEGIN TO PUSH INLAND...IT
WILL NOT TAKE LONG TO GET PRECIP GOING. THU IS A BIT TRICKY IN THAT
MID LEVEL DYNAMICS AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL STEADILY INCREASE...BUT
HEIGHTS/ THICKNESSES WILL ALSO BE CLIMBING. THUS HAVE ACTUALLY
BACKED POPS DOWN A LITTLE BIT...BUT WILL SWITCH TO AREA TERMS. QPF
WILL BE RATHER LIGHT DURING THE DAY TUE AS MUCH HEAVIER RAIN FOCUSES
OVER THE CENTRAL/WESTERN RIM.

THAT WILL CHANGE THU NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES RATHER SLOWLY
ACROSS THE CWA. MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE FRONT AND ACCOMPANYING SNOW
LEVEL DROP DOWN A LITTLE MORE...WHICH WARRANTS SLOWING THE START AND
END TIMES OF THE BLIZZARD WATCH. EVEN THE HIGHEST PEAKS COULD MIX
WITH RAIN FOR A TIME THU EVENING. HOWEVER THE SLOWER TIMING WILL
ALSO MEAN A LONGER PERIOD OF EFFICIENT COLLISION/COALESCENCE
PROCESSES AND A LONGER PERIOD WHERE HEAVIER SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSTMS
COULD TRAIN...PARTICULARLY N OF KTUS. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE
FACT OUR STORM LAST NIGHT WENT A LITTLE N THAN PROGGED GIVES US
PAUSE THAT THE BEST FORCING THU NIGHT/FRI WILL ALSO PASS TO OUR N.
EVEN TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT...HPC GUIDANCE LOOKS REASONABLE WITH
1.0-2.5 INCHES OF RAIN THE THE DESERTS/VALLEYS /HIGHER NORTH...
LOWER SOUTHEAST/...AND 2-4 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS SOME OF THAT
FALLING AS RAIN. WITH SUCH EXTREME SW FLOW...SOME RAIN SHADOWING IS
ALSO LIKELY...LIKE SE COCHISE COUNTY AND THE SOUTHERN TUCSON METRO
AREA. EVEN ACCOUNTING FOR SNOW MELT AND THESE QPFS...NO STREAMS ARE
FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE...ALTHOUGH A FEW WILL APPROACH
BANKFULL WITH NUISANCE SMALL STREAM/URBAN THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.
WILL FRESHEN UP ESF/FLOOD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF
THE WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT THU NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY RAPID
COLD ADVECTION FRI...EXPECT NON-DIURNAL TEMP TRENDS WHICH WE/LL
MENTION IN THE ZONES.

NOT TO BE LOST IN ALL THIS...MODELS HAVE NOW PICKED UP ON A SLEEPER
SHORT WAVE...WHICH BASED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY WAS OUT NEAR 45N 150W
AT 20Z. ALL OF THEM NOW BRING IT ACROSS US FRI NIGHT WITH ONE LAST
ROUND OF FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS. BY THEN SNOW LEVELS WILL BE DOWN TO
3500FT NORTH/4500FT SOUTH BEHIND THE MAIN SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST SOME
RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN PLACE. SO THAT WE MAINTAIN THE EMPHASIS ON THE
WORST PART OF THE STORM THU PM-FRI...WE WILL NOT ISSUE ANYTHING FOR
THIS LAST PIECE...YET. HOWEVER THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A LOWER
ELEVATION SNOW EVENT...WITH LINGERING WIND...AS ALL THIS BEGINS TO
WIND DOWN FRI NIGHT/EARLY SAT.

ALTHOUGH THE COMBINED SYSTEM NOW APPEARS IT WILL DEPART A LITTLE
SLOWER...THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND STILL LOOKS DRY AS SHORT
WAVE RIDGING TRANSITIONS OVERHEAD. LATEST GFS RUNS HAVE JOINED THE
ECMWF IN BRINGING A MODERATE-STRENGTH SYSTEM INTO THE SOUTHWEST U.S.
TUE/WED. THERE IS QUITE A SPREAD IN THE MODELS...BUT GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINLY HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CONTINUED THE MID SHIFTS TREND IN
GOING NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO POPS IN DAYS 6/7.

SEE THE LATEST WEB BRIEFING...GRAPHICASTS...AND WATCH SUMMARIES ON
OUR WEBSITE. THANKS TO DMAFB/PSR/FGZ/EPZ/CBRFC AND ALL OF OUR
SPOTTERS FOR YOUR HELP TODAY!

&&

.AVIATION...CLOUDS INCREASING IN ADVANCE OF NEXT POTENT WEATHER
SYSTEM. EXPECT SCT-BKN CLOUD DECKS IN THE 6-10KFT AGL RANGE THROUGH
12Z WITH ISOLD TO SCT SHRA. BKN CEILINGS WILL SLOWLY LOWER AFTER 12Z
WITH MVFR/MTN OBSCURATION CONDITIONS DEVELOPING AREAWIDE AFTER
21/15Z. ADDITIONALLY VISIBILITIES WITH RA/SHRA WILL 2-6SM AT TIMES
AFTER 15Z.

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AFTER 21/09Z INTO THE 15-22KT RANGE
THEN BECOME STRONGER AFTER 21/18Z TO 25-35 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 50-55
KTS.
