AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
845 AM MST SAT MAY 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S TODAY. A DRY
COLD FRONT WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION ON
SUNDAY...ALONG WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BLOWING
DUST. TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY REBOUND INTO THE UPPER 90S/LOWER
100S BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A RATHER QUIET MORNING ACROSS THE CWA UNDER CLEAR SKIES AND
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE QUICKLY
TODAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN. WINDS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY INCREASE
AND BECOME BREEZY THIS AFTERNOON AREAWIDE AND WINDY THIS EVENING
ACROSS IMPERIAL COUNTY. A WIND ADVISORY FOR IMPERIAL COUNTY FOR WIND
GUSTS TO 45 MPH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THIS EVENING...DUE TO MOUNTAIN
WAVE INDUCED STRONG WINDS. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS ON TRACK AS HIGHS
SHOULD PEAK OUT JUST ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE
LOW TRACKS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN ARIZONA ON SUNDAY...MORE WIDESPREAD
STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH A GOOD PROBABILITY OF HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL
BE A CONCERN FOR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE NEAR PORTLAND
OREGON THIS MORNING...WITH ZONAL FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST. UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS FEW MORNINGS...SKIES WERE MOSTLY
CLEAR ACROSS THE REGION BUT TEMPERATURES REMAINED ELEVATED. DESERT
TEMPS AS OF 08Z WERE GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S AND ASIDE
FROM 12-15KT WINDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...WINDS WERE
GENERALLY LIGHT/VRB.

THE PAC NW LOW WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN TODAY AND INTO
NORTHERN ARIZONA ON SUNDAY. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH...BREEZY
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP AND HELP NUDGE TEMPERATURES INTO
THE LOW/MID 90S. WE'VE HAD A 1-2 DEGREE COOL BIAS THE PAST FEW DAYS
SO I'M HESITANT TO WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 90S PER SOME
GUIDANCE...BUT BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS TEND TO YIELD WARMER THAN
EXPECTED TEMPERATURES SO I WILL RETAIN AT LEAST 93 OR 94 AROUND
PHOENIX AND 94-95 AROUND YUMA/EL CENTRO. DESPITE INCREASING
WINDS...NOT ANTICIPATING ANY WIDESPREAD BLOWING DUST OR MAJOR
WEATHER IMPACTS TODAY FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER IT
LOOKS LIKE A DECENT SETUP FOR A MOUNTAIN WAVE WIND EVENT DOWNWIND OF
THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS IN IMPERIAL COUNTY AND WINDS SHOULD EASILY
REACH WIND ADVISORY THRESHOLDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. A WIND
ADVISORY IS FORTHCOMING FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA.

UPPER TROUGH WILL SWEEP THROUGH NORTHERN ARIZONA AND PER YESTERDAY'S
12Z GUIDANCE AND THIS MORNING'S 00Z DATA...LOOKS TO BE A LITTLE
DEEPER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS INDICATED. THAT BEING SAID...MOISTURE IS
STILL LACKING /PWATS GENERALLY 0.6 INCHES OR LESS COINCIDENT WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH AXIS/ AND THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY FOR
MEASURABLE PRECIP WILL BE DISPLACED WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE PHOENIX
AREA. VERY LOW END SINGLE DIGIT POPS AROUND GLOBE/HILLTOP ARE ALL
THAT SEEM WARRANTED AT THIS POINT /AND EVEN THESE VALUES ARE
PROBABLY TOO HIGH/ AND NO MAJOR CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO POPS. THE
BIGGEST IMPACT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF WINDS AND POSSIBLY AREAS OF
BLOWING DUST. STRONGEST WINDS WILL BEGIN AS EARLY AS MID MORNING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA...THEN EXPAND WITH
WINDS INCREASING AROUND THE PHOENIX AREA AND POINTS EAST SHORTLY
BEFORE NOON. MAY NEED TO LOOK AT A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY BUT STILL NOT A LOCK. I WILL
ALSO BE INTRODUCING BLOWING DUST INTO THE GRIDS FOR THE LOWER
DESERTS. PROBABLY LOOKING AT A VERY SIMILAR EVENT TO WHAT WAS SEEN
LAST WEEK AND THE WEEK BEFORE WHERE THE NORMALLY DUSTY AREAS SEE THE
LOWEST SURFACE VISIBILITIES WHEREAS EVERYONE ELSE EXPERIENCES
LOFTED/SUSPENDED DUST AND HAZE. WINDS SHOULD BACK OFF SHORTLY AFTER
SUNSET ALONG WITH THE THREAT FOR BLOWING DUST. MEANWHILE...STRONG
DRY ADVECTION WILL ALSO LEAD TO HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY.

THE PATTERN TURNS STAGNANT FROM MONDAY ONWARD AS THE UPPER TROUGH
EJECTS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND STRONG UPPER HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE EACH
DAY...REACHING A PEAK IN THE LOWER 100S WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THESE TEMPS ARE NOT RECORD BREAKING...BUT CERTAINLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR
MID MAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING KPHX...KIWA...AND KSDL...
MORNING EAST DRAINAGE FLOW TO CONTINUE BEFORE VEERING AROUND TO THE
SOUTH MIDDAY AND THEN SOUTHWEST HEADINGS BY THE AFTERNOON WHILE
INCREASING IN SPEED. SUSTAINED WINDS 12-17 KTS WITH GUSTS OVER 20KTS
POSSIBLE BY THE AFTERNOON...WITH ELEVATED WEST WINDS PERSISTING
OVERNIGHT. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH OCCASIONAL CIRRUS GNLY
AOA 25KFT. LOFTED DUST DUE TO ELEVATED WINDS AREAWIDE COULD LEAD TO
SLANT VSBY ISSUES FOR SUNDAY...WHILE ALSO REDUCING LONG RANGE
VISIBILITY AND OBSCURING TERRAIN VIEWS FROM THE TERMINAL SURFACES.

SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA/SOUTHWEST ARIZONA INCLUDING KIPL AND KBLH...
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP INTO THE MORNING...WITH GUSTS OF
25 TO 30KTS POSSIBLE BY THE AFTERNOON. STRONG WEST WINDS TO PERSIST
THROUGH 11/05Z AT KIPL AS ELEVATED WINDS DEVELOP OFF THE COASTAL
MOUNTAINS DOWN INTO THE IMPERIAL VALLEY. PATCHY BLOWING DUST AND
SAND WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY...BUT HELD OFF INCLUDING
MENTION IN THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE. DRY COLD FRONT PASSAGE OVERNIGHT
WILL KEEP WINDS ELEVATED...BEFORE INCREASING SPEEDS AGAIN FOR SUNDAY
WHILE TURNING THEM N/NW IN NATURE.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
A GRADUAL WARMING TREND BEGINS MONDAY AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
SLOWLY BUILDS INTO THE WEST. FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN ELEVATED
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO PERSISTENT BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS
FROM THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY ALONG WITH
SINGLE DIGIT DAYTIME HUMIDITIES AND POOR TO FAIR OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES. ANTICIPATE RELAXING GRADIENTS BY FRIDAY...SUPPORT
LIGHTER AND MORE VARIABLE WIND CONDITIONS. .
