AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
915 AM MST MON SEP 12 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES WILL
BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE. EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT
DRYING TREND BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL CONTINUE
TO STREAM MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS OVER ARIZONA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LOW
LEVEL SHEAR COUPLED WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY AND DECENT DIVERGENCE
ALOFT WILL MAKE FOR ISOLATED SEVERE CELLS THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE
BEST CHANCES FOR THIS WILL BE FROM FLAGSTAFF WESTWARD TODAY WHERE
COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT EXIST. THIS RISK WILL SPREAD EASTWARD
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AS THE LOW BEGINS TO EJECT. FLOODING RISKS
WILL BE MITIGATED BY RELATIVELY FAST STORM MOVEMENT...ALTHOUGH
ISOLATED STRONGER CELLS...OR TRAINING CELLS...COULD STILL CAUSE SOME
PROBLEMS. BY THURSDAY...WESTERLY FLOW AND WARMING ALOFT WILL
GENERALLY BRING AN END TO OUR PRECIPITATION...AND TO THE MONSOON
SEASON. CURRENT FORECASTS HAVE THESE TRENDS WELL COVERED...NO
UPDATES NEEDED THIS MORNING.
