WITH POPS FOR FRIDAY...ECMWF ARGUES FOR POPS FRIDAY AS
ENERGY...AGAIN VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...PASSES SOUTH OF
US THROUGH BAJA/SONORA. EXTENDED 12Z NAM COMPLETELY DRY THROUGH
FRIDAY...BUT I SUSPECT THIS WILL CHANGE OVER TIME. INCLINED TO LEAN
TOWARD THE ECMWF AT THIS TIME. CERTAINLY WILL BE LOWERING TEMPS SOME
MORE THIS AFTERNOON.

FORWARD PROGRESS OF THE TROUGH HAS SLOWED ON THE 12Z NAM FROM
PREVIOUS RUNS...COMING IN LINE WITH THE SLOWER/MORE RELIABLE ECMWF.
THIS PLACES FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ON WEDNESDAY IN QUESTION...AS THE
STRONGEST PRESSURE GRADIENTS NOW LOOK TO OCCUR THURSDAY. INITIAL
THOUGHTS ARE WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS
WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL BE MUCH STRONGER THURSDAY...IN FACT 12Z MET
GUIDANCE IS PROGGING 39 KTS OF SUSTAINED WIND AT KDUG THURSDAY
AFTERNOON IN COCHISE COUNTY. WHILE WINDS WILL BE MUCH STRONGER...RH
WILL BE MUCH HIGHER TOO WITH STRONG COOLING COMMENCING THURSDAY. ALL
OF THIS WILL BE ANALYZED TODAY...AND HIGHLIGHTED IN THE FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSION COMING UP THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT FEW-SCT MID LEVEL CLOUDS AT 12-16K FT AGL AND
SCT-BKN HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ABOVE 20K FT AGL. THESE CLOUDS WILL MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS TODAY...
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ON TAP AFTER 04Z TONIGHT. SURFACE WINDS
SELY/SLY AT LESS THAN 10 KTS THROUGH 16Z TODAY. SURFACE WINDS WILL
THEN BE WLY/NWLY AT 5-15 KTS DURING THE 17Z-03Z PERIOD WEDNESDAY.
WINDS GENERALLY SLY/SELY AT 10-15 KTS AFTER 03Z WEDNESDAY. EXPECT
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS A PACIFIC
STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. AVIATION
DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR TAF AMENDMENTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRY CONDITIONS WITH WARM DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL
PREVAIL TODAY. DIURNAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH OCCASIONAL
GUSTY WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.

BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AREAWIDE ON WEDNESDAY AS A
STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE STRONGEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST
ARIZONA BELOW 7000 FEET FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
EVENING. THIS INCLUDES GREENLEE...GRAHAM...COCHISE...SANTA CRUZ...
PIMA...AND SOUTHEAST PINAL COUNTIES...OR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 146...
147 AND 148.

CRITICAL WIND SPEEDS MAY AGAIN BE MET THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
THURSDAY EVENING ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF FIRE ZONE 148 (COCHISE
AND GRAHAM COUNTIES)...ALTHOUGH AT THIS TIME...SUBSTANTIAL COOLING
IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE BY THURSDAY AND THEREFORE MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES MAY NOT BE MET.

BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
HOWEVER...INCREASED CLOUDS...MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD HELP ALLEVIATE ANY FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

.CLIMATE...CURRENT FORECAST INDICATES THAT TUCSON INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT WILL HIT 90 DEGREES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2010 TODAY. THIS
