AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
1022 AM MST SUN JUL 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...A FEW CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN.
STARTING MONDAY...DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN ARIZONA WITH A
DECREASE IN STORM ACTIVITY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA IS EVIDENT ON
WATER VAPOR/IR AND APPEARS TO BE SHEARING (PULLING APART) AS IT
MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHWEST ARIZONA. EVIDENCE OF LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE IS THE RADAR ECHOES EXTENDING FROM
NAVAJO NATIONAL MONUMENT SOUTHWEST TO AROUND KINGMAN. THIS LIFT WILL
DRIFT INTO CENTRAL COCONINO COUNTY AND JUST SOUTH OF THE BLACK MESA
BY THIS AFTERNOON AND IT WILL HAVE WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY AND MAY NOT
SUPPORT ENOUGH LIFT TO HAVE ANY DISCERNIBLE INFLUENCE AFTER THAT
POINT ON TODAY'S WX.

NEXT FEATURE TO AFFECT WESTERN ARIZONA IS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
SEEN IN THE MODEL DATA AT 300 MB. THIS FEATURE WILL TRACK NNW ACROSS
WESTERN ARIZONA AND INTO NW COCONINO COUNTY. THIS FEATURE WILL
PROVIDE LIFT IN ASSOCIATION WITH UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY ADVECTION.
THE SHEAR OVER ARIZONA TODAY IS IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASED HEIGHT
GRADIENT OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. AS THE SOUTHWEST SITS BETWEEN A
HIGH TO THE EAST AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE CALIFORNIA
COAST. THE BEST SHEAR IS AT ANVIL LEVEL WHICH WILL HELP SUPPORT A
FEW ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS MAYBE STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LARGE
HAIL ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A KPRC TO KRQE LINE. THE BEST PW IN THE
FORECAST AREA IS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-40 CORRIDOR LATE THIS
MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF MAYBE A FEW
TRAINING STORMS IN THE SHEARED ENVIRONMENT THAT MAY POSE A HEAVY
RAIN THREAT. STORMS WILL BE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY BETWEEN 10
TO 20 KTS AND GIVEN THE RAPID MOVEMENT OF CELLS AND THE LOWER PW
ENVIRONMENT WOULD NOT MAKE IT FAVORABLE FOR NUMEROUS AREA OF HEAVY
RAIN AND OR FLASH FLOODING...EXCEPT FOR NW COCONINO COUNTY WHERE THE
WEAK SYNOPTIC LIFT COULD FAVOR AN ENVIRONMENT FOR NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORM AND WITH THE UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR AN ANCHORED LINE OF
STORMS WITH TRAINING CELLS.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION /300 AM MST/...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL REMAIN
ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA TODAY. STRENGTHENING WESTERLY FLOW WILL
BRING DRIER AIR TO THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS BUT THIS WILL BE
A GRADUAL PROCESS. MORE THAN ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL REMAIN FOR HEAVY
RAIN PRODUCING STORMS. STORM MOTION WILL GENERALLY BE FROM WEST TO
EAST. THE STRENGTHENING FLOW ALOFT INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF
TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORM CELLS AND THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING WILL CONTINUE.

FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRUSH
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST. IN RESPONSE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF ARIZONA. THE
SHIFT IN THE HIGH WILL ALLOW A SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR
MASS FROM OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA.
AS A RESULT...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BECOME MORE ISOLATED.

FROM THURSDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND...THE BREAK IN THE MONSOON LOOKS
SHORT LIVED. AS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HEADS
EASTWARD MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW HIGH PRESSURE MOVING BACK TOWARD
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. THE DOOR WOULD LIKELY THEN OPEN TO
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND THE RETURN OF DEEP MONSOON MOISTURE.

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 18Z PACKAGE...SCT-NMRS TSRA/SHRA WITH MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS. OVER NW AZ...SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND
STRONG WINDS. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SLOWLY DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT.
AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDMENTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER
NORTHERN ARIZONA TODAY PRODUCING AFTERNOON HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN THREATS TO OPERATIONS WILL BE FROM LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING AND LIGHTNING. DECREASING MOISTURE LEVELS ARE
FORECAST STARTING ON MONDAY WITH LOWER CHANCES FOR STORM ACTIVITY.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A DOWNWARD TREND IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. EXPECT INCREASING CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN ARIZONA ON THURSDAY.
