Area forecast discussion, Jan 13, 8:00 PM PST, 6 hours 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
900 PM MST SUN JAN 13 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS OVER THE AREA WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. NEAR OR SUB-FREEZING MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
ARE LIKELY AND FREEZE WARNINGS ARE IN PLACE FOR THE LOWER DESERTS.
CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY WARM BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS WARMER AIR
MOVES INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A WELL DEFINED AND INTENSIFYING PV ANOMALY HAS DEPRESSED INTO SRN
NEVADA CARVING OUT OF THE BASAL PORTION OF THE LONGWAVE SWRN CONUS
TROUGH. ALTHOUGH ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS INDICATES RATHER NEUTRAL
ASCENT...MID/HIGH LEVEL VORTICITY ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE
HAS BEEN MORE THAN SUFFICIENT LIFT TO PRODUCE RATHER EXTENSIVE CLOUD
COVER AT MULTIPLE LAYERS...AND AS LOW AS 10K FT OVER SERN CALIFORNIA
AND WRN ARIZONA. MODEL RH FORECASTS BETWEEN H7 AND H3 HAVE CAPTURED
THESE MULTI-LAYER FEATURES WELL...WITH PROGS INDICATING THE BULK OF
THE THICKER LAYERS ADVECTING THROUGH CNTRL (AND ESPECIALLY SRN)
ARIZONA AROUND MIDNIGHT BEFORE SHEARING EAST IN THE STRONG
DOWNSTREAM JET CORE AND LARGELY CLEARING THE FORECAST AREA.
EVEN AS THE THICKER CLOUD COVERAGE MOVES OUT OF THE CWA BY THE LATE
NIGHT HOURS...THE LARGE CONUNDRUM IS THE PRESENCE OF POCKETS OF MORE
CLOUD COVER SAMPLED UPSTREAM THAT WOULD CONCEIVABLY IMPACT LOW
TEMPERATURE FORECASTS ON A MORE LOCALIZED SCALE. BASED ON THE
CURRENT CLOUDS SERIOUSLY HAMPERING IN THE INITIAL NOCTURNAL
RADIATIONAL COOLING OVER THE WESTERN CWA...THE LIKELIHOOD OF COOLING
NEARLY STALLING THROUGH THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA IN
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...AND POTENTIALLY MORE CLOUDS IMPACTING THE
REGION OVERNIGHT...HAVE MADE RATHER SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS TO BOTH
HOURLY TEMPERATURE TRENDS AND FORECAST LOWS.
STILL EXPECTING SUB-FREEZING LOWS OVER MARICOPA...GILA...AND LA PAZ
COUNTIES AS CURRENT TEMPERATURES ONLY NEED TO FALL 5F-10F TO REACH
THAT CRITERIA. HOWEVER...HAVE INCREASED LOWS IN THE YUMA AREA AS
WELL AS MUCH OF SERN CALIFORNIA TO NEAR AND ABOVE FREEZING LEVELS.
WILL KEEP FREEZE HEADLINES IN TACT...AS MANIPULATION NOW IS MORE AN
EXERCISE IN FUTILITY AND CONFUSION AS ALL PREPARATIONS HAVE ALREADY

TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...
A VERY DRY AND COLD AIRMASS CONTINUED TO FLOW SOUTH FROM WESTERN
CANADA INTO OUR REGION...AND WILL CONTINUE THIS WAY THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING. THIS EXTRAORDINARY COLD AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE LOWER DESERTS FROM
SOUTHEAST CA TO SOUTH CENTRAL AZ THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE ONLY
CAVEAT WILL BE SOME OVERNIGHT BREEZES MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING
THAT COULD KEEP MINIMUM TEMPS A FEW DEGREES HIGHER...ESPECIALLY
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST CA AND SOUTHWEST AZ. HOWEVER...THE MAGNITUDE
OF THE BREEZES ON THE EUROPEAN MODEL IS LOWER THAN THE GFS...SO
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO CANCEL THE FREEZE WARNING ON THE SOUTHEAST
CA AND SOUTHWEST AZ DESERTS FOR MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING. IN
OTHER WORDS...THE FREEZE WARNING CONTINUES FOR ALL OUR DESERTS
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
THE COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS COVER THE REGION WILL FINALLY SHIFT EAST.
WEDNESDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY OF MODEST WARMING...THEN
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM CLOSE TO NORMAL THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
