AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
251 AM MST FRI FEB 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A WELL DEFINED PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE TODAY WITH
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS BEGINNING IN SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA DURING THE
MORNING...THEN SPREADING INTO ARIZONA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. PERIODIC RAIN SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DRY
OUT FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND NORMAL
TEMPERATURES RETURNING EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
VERY WELL DEFINED CIRCULATION REMAINS OFFSHORE THIS MORNING AND
CONTINUES TO OCCLUDE AS OF 09Z. HOWEVER...PRECIPITATION IS ALREADY
FALLING WEST OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS AS A SUBSTANTIAL ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER WITHIN THE WARM CONVEYOR BELT MOVES ONSHORE. THE NEARLY
PERPENDICULAR UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE 700-850MB WINDS IS CERTAINLY
HELPING MATTERS AS WELL WITH WINDS ANALYZED AROUND 60-70KTS. WHILE
THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS DRY AT THE MOMENT...IT\S SIMPLY A MATTER
OF TIME BEFORE THE BOUNDARY LAYER SATURATES SUFFICIENTLY AND
PRECIPITATION BEGINS. BLENDED TPW IMAGERY REVEALS APPROXIMATELY 0.5
INCH PWATS ACROSS THE LOWER AZ DESERTS...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER VALUES /AROUND
1.25 INCHES/ OFF THE SAN DIEGO COAST...AND APPROXIMATELY 1.8 INCHES
A BIT FARTHER WEST. SUFFICE TO SAY THE ATMOSPHERE HAS PLENTY OF
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...ONLY QUESTION IS HOW QUICKLY IT WILL BE
IMPORTED OVER THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS AND THE BAJA SPINE AND INTO THE
LOWER AZ DESERTS.

ALL MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES MOISTURE WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA LATER THIS MORNING...NAM...HRRR...LOCAL
WRF\S...AND EVEN THE MORE COARSE GUIDANCE ARE ON BOARD. WHILE A
FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AROUND EL CENTRO AND BLYTHE
AND CERTAINLY ACROSS JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK...ACTIVITY SHOULD
PICK UP SUBSTANTIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS OVERHEAD
AND FILLS IN WITH THE INITIAL PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH. THE PRESENCE OF
RELATIVELY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND A FEW HUNDRED J/KG MLCAPE
WILL ALSO HELP THINGS ALONG LATER THIS MORNING/AFTERNOON.
ARGUABLY...LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON COULD BE
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA\S BUSIEST PERIOD DURING THIS ENTIRE EVENT. POPS
WERE ALREADY AT OR NEAR 100 PERCENT FOR TODAY AND I ONLY MADE VERY
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. MAINTAINED THE MENTION OF THUNDER AS WELL...GIVEN
AFOREMENTIONED LAPSE RATES AND MLCAPES...THIS ALSO MATCHES SPC\S DAY
1 GENERAL THUNDER OUTLINE...BUT I STILL THINK WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER IS UNLIKELY. HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BE A FACTOR ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK AND THE
USUALLY WINDY I-8 CORRIDOR OF IMPERIAL COUNTY. GOING WITH A WIND
ADVISORY TODAY INTO THIS EVENING BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF AREAS
DOWNWIND OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS SHOULD BE SPARED THE STRONGEST
WINDS.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THIS MORNING IS DECIDING WHEN PRECIP WILL
BEGIN ACROSS THE LOWER AZ DESERTS AND AROUND THE PHOENIX AREA. WHILE
TRYING NOT TO FOCUS TOO CLOSELY ON ONE OR TWO DETERMINISTIC
SOLUTIONS...ALL THE 00Z HI-RES GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE NAM12...4KM
NAM...LOCAL WRFS...NSSL WRF...HRRR...AND RAP INDICATE PRECIP WILL
HOLD OFF UNTIL WELL AFTER 00Z AROUND THE PHOENIX AREA. PER THEIR
SOLUTIONS...PRECIP WILL DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS NORTH/EAST OF
PHOENIX FIRST...THEN GRADUALLY BACKFILL OVER THE METRO AS ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE IS IMPORTED INTO THE AREA. FOR BETTER OR WORSE...THIS
BACKFILLING DOESN\T TAKE PLACE UNTIL CLOSER TO 12Z SATURDAY...ABOUT
12 HRS SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT THAT WILL BE OVERHEAD LATE THIS EVENING ALONG WITH
NEARLY 50KT SOUTHERLY 850MB WINDS AND PWATS AROUND 1.2-1.3
INCHES...I\M NOT CONVINCED IT WILL STAY DRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. I MADE SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS
ACROSS THE DESERTS FOR THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT BUT VALUES ARE STILL
RUNNING IN THE 80-90 PERCENT RANGE. THE HIGHER TERRAIN NORTH/EAST OF
PHOENIX IS STILL AT 100 PERCENT AS THEY SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO SEE
PRECIP DEVELOPMENT.

MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES OF MLCAPE DURING
THE DAY ON SATURDAY...ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES OF 0-1KM
0-3KM AND 0-6KM SHEAR. CONFIDENCE INCREASING THAT THERE WILL INDEED
BE THUNDER AROUND DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...BUT WITH QUITE A BIT
OF CLOUD COVER WIDESPREAD SEVERE STILL SEEMS UNLIKELY. PERHAPS A FEW
SHOWERS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS...BUT THAT\S ABOUT
IT. ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA I THINK THERE COULD BE A FEW SHOWERS
ON SATURDAY BUT ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE ON THE 295-310K SURFACES STARTS
BECOMING EVIDENT AS EARLY AS 12-18Z SATURDAY. ACTIVITY MAY END UP
BEING FAIRLY SCATTERED IN NATURE BUT GIVEN THE LARGE SWATH OF
MOISTURE THAT WILL STILL BE IN PLACE...HESITANT TO REDUCE POPS TOO
MUCH.

THE 1.2 INCH PWAT AXIS SHIFTS INTO THE MOUNTAINS EAST OF PHOENIX
SATURDAY EVENING AND A DRYING TREND SHOULD COMMENCE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA /EXCLUDING GILA CO/ DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
LINGERING MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW SHOWERS ON SUNDAY BUT THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THESE SHOWERS SHOULD BE IN THE MOUNTAINS WELL EAST
OF PHOENIX. HELD ONTO AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION OF POPS
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT FOR THE DESERTS...RAINFALL SHOULD
BE PRETTY MUCH OVER AND DONE WITH. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR STORM
TOTAL AMOUNTS? A BLEND OF WPC PROVIDED QPF AND GFS/EUROPEAN QPF
YIELDS ABOUT 0.25 TO 0.5 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...AROUND
0.75 TO 1 INCHES AROUND THE PHOENIX AREA...AND UPWARDS OF 1.5 EAST
OF PHOENIX. NATURALLY...HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE
STRONGER SHOWERS/STORMS BUT OVERALL THESE VALUES FIT IN WELL WITH
CIPS ANALOGS. WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING ANY SORT OF FLOOD WATCHES BUT
NUISANCE FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS AND/OR NORMALLY DRY WASHES
CAN\T BE RULED OUT. SNOWFALL POTENTIAL REMAINS LIMITED AS THIS
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPORT WARM SOUTHERLY AIR INTO THE REGION
UNTIL SUNDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO AROUND 6500FT ON SUNDAY AS
PRECIP IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE. ASIDE FROM THE TOPS OF THE VERY
HIGHEST PEAKS EAST OF PHOENIX...SNOWFALL APPEARS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

THE WEATHER TURNS MUCH MUCH QUIETER FROM MONDAY ONWARD AS WEAK ZONAL
FLOW TRANSITIONS INTO WEAK RIDGING BY MID WEEK. DRY WEATHER IS A
LOCK FROM MONDAY ONWARD ALONG WITH STEADILY INCREASING TEMPS
EVENTUALLY REACHING THE LOWER 80S TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING KPHX...KIWA...AND KSDL...
HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...WITH CIGS
DEVELOPING AOA 10K FT BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND LOWERING BELOW 8K FT
BY FRIDAY EVENING AS SHOWERS DEVELOP. FEEL COVERAGE THROUGH 00Z WILL
BE SPARSE...AND ONLY HAVE A VCSH MENTION. WHILE AN ISOLD TS MAY BE
POSSIBLE...CHANCES ARE FAR TOO LOW TO MENTION. SFC WINDS WILL SWITCH
TO EASTERLY TONIGHT...THEN MAY OBTAIN A PROLONGED SLY CROSS WIND
TRAJECTORY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...THOUGH IT APPEARS SPEEDS WILL REMAIN
BELOW 14KT.

SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA INCLUDING KIPL AND KBLH...
CIGS WILL THICKEN AND LOWER OVERNIGHT...FALLING TO A 7K-8K FT LEVEL
BY FRIDAY MORNING AS SHOWERS BEGIN TO DEVELOP THROUGHOUT SERN
CALIFORNIA. COVERAGE APPEARS TOO SPOTTY TO INCLUDE A PREVAILING
GROUP DURING THE MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
WITH BETTER COVERAGE MAY DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WHILE AN ISOLD TS
MAY BE POSSIBLE...CHANCES ARE FAR TOO LOW TO MENTION. THERE IS LOW
CONFIDENCE REGARDING PREVAILING SFC WIND DIRECTIONS...AS COVERAGE
AND LOCATION OF SHOWERS MAY CREATE RAPIDLY SHIFTING WINDS THROUGH
THE PERIOD. IN GENERAL...PREVAILING S/E WINDS WOULD BE PREFERRED IN
THE MORNING...BECOMING S/W IN THE AFTERNOON.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION WITH
PRECIPITATION STARTING TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...PRECIPITATION CHANCES LINGER THROUGH
SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTH-CENTRAL
ARIZONA. PRECIPITATION TOTALS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER EAST OF
THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY THAN OVER SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA.
LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ON THE VALLEY FLOORS
SATURDAY WITH VERY STRONG WINDS AT RIDGETOPS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND HUMIDITIES WILL BE ELEVATED.
EXPECT WARMER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER HUMIDITIES MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH LESS WIND.
