AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
310 PM MST THU AUG 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS
EVENING...MAINLY EAST OF PHOENIX. SOMEWHAT COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IN ADDITION...THERE IS A
CONTINUED CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE EAST OF PHOENIX THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 905 AM)
MORNING LOW TEMPERATURE WAS 93 DEGREES AT SKY HARBOR
AIRPORT. IF WE DO NOT GET THUNDERSTORMS AT THE AIRPORT TODAY...THIS
WILL BREAK THE DAILY HIGH MINIMUM RECORD OF 90 DEGREES LAST SET IN
1988. TEMPERATURE HAS ALREADY REACHED 100 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT AS
OF 845 AM. ANOTHER 110+ DEGREE DAY IS EASILY WITHIN REACH AND THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL CONTINUE FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF
MARICOPA AND PINAL COUNTIES.

LATEST MDCRS DATA SHOWS A DISTINCT COOLING TREND IN THE
MID-LEVELS...YIELDING 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES NEAR 7 DEGREES C/KM.
OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND ABOVE NORMAL
TPW WOULD SUGGEST THAT POPS SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMAL AS WELL. WEAK
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL OFFSET THE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONVECTION
SOMEWHAT...THOUGH POPS WILL BE INCREASED TO 30 TO 40 PERCENT ACROSS
THE PHOENIX METRO AREA FOR THIS EVENING.

(ISSUED THU AFTERNOON)
RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR PHOENIX SKY HARBOR AIRPORT HAS ALREADY
BEEN BROKEN FOR TODAY AT 112 DEGREES. DEEP MIXED LAYER HAS ALSO
ENTRAINED SOME DRY AIR...WHICH HAS CUT DOWN ON CAPE ACROSS MARICOPA
COUNTY. THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED RAPIDLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
EASTERN AZ AND RELATIVELY EARLY IN THE DAY. LATEST MDCRS FLIGHT OUT
OF KPHX INDICATES THAT TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED NEAR 525 MB...WHICH
IS INHIBITING CONVECTION IN THE LOWER DESERTS. LATEST HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS ARE SUGGESTING STORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SW
MARICOPA AND NORTHERN PINAL COUNTIES. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN
CURRENT RADAR TRENDS UPSTREAM IN PIMA COUNTY. MEAN LAYER WINDS ARE
ONLY AROUND 5 KT...SO LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A THREAT WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER FLOW VEERS ON FRIDAY AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE LOWER
DESERTS DROPS OFF CONSIDERABLY. POPS ON FRIDAY ARE CONFINED MAINLY
TO SOUTHERN GILA COUNTY AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST. FURTHER VEERING IS LIKELY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND
CONSEQUENTLY POPS DROP OFF CONSIDERABLY THIS WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES
WILL ALSO FALL A FEW DEGREES THIS WEEKEND...STILL SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL BUT IN THE 105-108 RANGE ACROSS THE DESERTS.

I HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK...AS ALL
MODELS ARE NOW TRENDING HOT AND DRY AS OPPOSED TO RETURNING TO A
TYPICAL MONSOON PATTERN. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS MIGRATING BACK TOWARD
ARIZONA ON MONDAY AND EVENTUALLY POSITIONS ITSELF OVERHEAD BY
WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE TRIES TO MAKE ITS WAY NORTHWARD BUT NEVER SEEMS
TO MAKE IT NORTH OF THE US/MEX BORDER. GIVEN THE LACK OF MOISTURE IT
SHOULD BE PRETTY EASY TO WARM UP WELL ABOVE NORMAL. GFS/EURO MODELS
ARE FORECASTING 850MB TEMPS AROUND 31C BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...CONSERVATIVELY ESTIMATING SUPERADIABATIC LAPSE RATES
