AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
228 PM MST FRI JUL 17 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE COMMON ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
HURRICANE DOLORES MOVES INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL ALSO
RESULT IN CLOUDY SKIES AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND.
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
A RETURN TO TYPICAL MONSOON CONDITIONS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

TRICKY FORECAST TODAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CURRENTLY WE HAVE A
FEW POP UP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST MARICOPA
COUNTY ALONG WITH CENTRAL LA PAZ AND NORTHERN YUMA COUNTY. WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHARP UPPER LEVEL GRADIENT OF MOISTURE WITH THE
WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF AZ ALONG WITH SE CA IN A DRY ZONE AND A PLUME
OF DENSE MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE
STATE. MOST OF THE NOTABLE STORMS ARE IN THAT DRY ZONE JUST WEST OF
THE MOISTURE PLUME. WITH THE DRY AIR ALOFT THERE WE MAY SEE MORE OF
THESE STORMS AND EVEN A CHANCE FOR SOME OF THEM TO GROW EXPLOSIVELY.
SO FAR TODAY HOWEVER MOST OF THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY WEAK AND
NOT LONG LIVED.

TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT ON PAR AS FORECAST. HIGH TODAY SO FAR AT
PHOENIX SKY HARBOR HAS BEEN 102 AND NOT LIKELY TO INCREASE MUCH MORE
AS WE BEGIN TO PICK UP OUTFLOW FROM THUNDERSTORMS.

CURRENTLY LARGE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CENTERED OVER E TX AND LOUISIANA
WITH WEAK RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING OVER WRN TX INTO NRN MEXICO. THIS
RIDGE IS WEAK ENOUGH TO ALLOW TROPICAL MOISTURE TO SEEP INTO THE
REGION. HURRICANE DELORES IS WEST OF THE TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA AND
FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING TOWARDS THE WEST NORTHWEST. A WEAK CUTOFF
LOW IS SITTING OFF THE CENTRAL CA COAST. THE NEAR TERM FORECAST IS
REALLY A CHALLENGE. THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE
TRACK OF DELORES INCLUDING THE REMNANTS. SOME MODELS ARE ACTUALLY
CURVING IT BACK UP INTO THE CENTRAL CA...TRULY AN UNUSUAL TRACK.
WHEREVER DELORES ENDS UP WE WILL STILL SEE ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION...ESPECIALLY CENTRAL AZ...BEGINNING LATER
TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE DIFFICULT ASPECT OF THE FORECAST
IS TO DETERMINE WHAT SORT OF CONVECTION...AND RESULTING POSSIBLE
FLASH FLOODING...WE MAY SEE. MUCH DEPENDS ON NEAR TERM EFFECTS SUCH
AS BREAKS IN THE DENSE MOIST CLOUD DECKS...ENOUGH TO KICK OFF RAPID
CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT WHICH COULD PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. WE ARE
PREPARED FOR THAT WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT CURRENTLY RUNS UNTIL
11 PM SAT EVENING BUT COULD POSSIBLY BE EXTENDED FURTHER OUT
DEPENDING ON HOW THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO UNFOLD. IF THE REMNANTS
OF DELORES DO INDEED FOLLOW THE GFS TRACK WHICH NOW PUSHES IT INTO
THE CA COAST THAT WOULD ACTUALLY KEEP THE MOIST FLOW MOVING INTO AZ
WELL INTO MONDAY EVEN TUESDAY. BY MID WEEK WE SHOULD SLOWLY START
GOING BACK INTO A DRIER AIRMASS REGIME AND RETURN TO MORE TYPICAL
MONSOON WEATHER.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS AN EXTENSIVE PLUME OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE STRETCHING FROM HURRICANE DOLORES THROUGH BAJA AND
INTO SOUTHERN ARIZONA. WHILE CONVECTION HAS DIED OFF ACROSS ARIZONA
THIS MORNING...A COMPLEX CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MIGRATE THROUGH EASTERN
SONORA AS OF 09Z. ACROSS ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...SURFACE
DEWPOINTS ARE ON PAR WITH VALUES FROM THIS TIME YESTERDAY WITH
WIDESPREAD READINGS IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S. BLENDED TPW IMAGERY
REVEALS PWATS AROUND 1.1-1.2 INCHES ACROSS THE LOWER AZ DESERTS WITH
VALUES CLOSER TO 2 INCHES SOUTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. A LATE
EVENING OUTFLOW OVER SONORA WILL LIKELY USHER IN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
VALUES INTO THE REGION WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...ESPECIALLY AROUND
YUMA...EL CENTRO...AND BLYTHE.

FORECAST THINKING HAS CHANGED VERY LITTLE AND CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO
INCREASE THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD
ACROSS THE AREA AS EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON. A COUPLE OF FACTORS
SHOULD COME TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING A PARTICULARLY
ACTIVE ONE. FIRST...THE LEADING EDGE OF THE MOISTURE GRADIENT SHOULD
RAPIDLY PUSH NORTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH IT SHOULDN'T
OVERSPREAD THE AREA ENTIRELY AND CONTAMINATE THE BOUNDARY LAYER.
WE SHOULD ALSO SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF HEATING THIS AFTERNOON...LEADING
TO MLCAPES ON THE ORDER OF 800-1200 J/KG ACROSS THE AREA. FINALLY THE
COMPLEX OVER SONORA /WHILE FORECAST TO DIE OUT BEFORE DAYBREAK/ WILL
LIKELY RETAIN SOME DEGREE OF REMNANT CIRCULATION AS IT MOVES INTO
ARIZONA AND SHOULD SERVE AS THE TRIGGER THIS AFTERNOON. ALL IN ALL IT
SHOULD BE A PRETTY ACTIVE DAY /ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS A BIT LOWER
ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA/SOUTHWEST ARIZONA WHERE THE SURGE OF
MOISTURE MAY PRECLUDE CAPES FROM CLIMBING SUBSTANTIALLY/. ALL
CONVECTIVE ALLOWING GUIDANCE SUGGESTS STORMS WILL FIRE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST ARIZONA FIRST...THEN MIGRATE AND RE-DEVELOP OVER THE
PHOENIX AREA AROUND 00Z. I INSERTED A MENTION OF DUST IN THE FORECAST
FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING AS IT SEEMS POSSIBLE THE
LEADING STORMS WILL KICK UP SOME PATCHY SPOTS OF DUST. ALTHOUGH IF
CONVECTION BECOMES TOO WIDESPREAD TOO QUICKLY...THIS MIGHT KEEP THE
DUST IN CHECK. REGARDLESS THE USUAL LIST OF MONSOON HAZARDS WILL BE
IN PLAY TODAY...LIGHTNING...WIND...DUST. IN ADDITION WITH NEAR RECORD
PWATS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE AREA TODAY...ANY STORM WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING.
SHOWERS/STORMS APPEAR LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS ALTHOUGH CAPES WILL LIKELY BECOME EXHAUSTED AFTER
06Z. WILL HANG ONTO SOME MENTION OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT BUT IT MAY BE
MORE SHOWERY THAN ANYTHING.

MODELS SUGGEST A PROLONGED PERIOD OF VERY MOIST/SATURATED
AIR ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY AND IT SEEMS EXTREMELY LIKELY
SATURDAY WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY...VERY HUMID...AND TO SOME EXTENT
STABLE. WITH BUFR PROFILES ONLY SUGGESTING HIGHS IN THE LOWER
90S...I WENT AHEAD AND LOWERED TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES IN MOST
LOCATIONS. THE MORE DUBIOUS TASK IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH
CONVECTION THERE WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DECENT AGREEMENT
THAT AN INVERTED WAVE WILL ONCE AGAIN MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY WHICH SHOULD HELP TRIGGER SHOWERS/STORMS. BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THERE COULD BE SOME PARTIAL CLEARING ACROSS SOUTHERN
ARIZONA WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR NEW SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND
I RETAINED THE IDEA OF ELEVATED POPS THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. FOR
THAT REASON...I ELECTED TO DRAG THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OUT UNTIL 11 PM
SATURDAY.

SUNDAY WILL SEE YET ANOTHER DAY OF ELEVATED HUMIDITIES ALTHOUGH SOME
DRYING WILL START TO MAKE ITS WAY IN FROM THE WEST AS THE FLOW ALOFT
RETURNS TO A MORE SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. I KEPT THE IDEA OF 30-40
POPS ACROSS THE AREA SINCE ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A FEW HUNDRED J/KG
OF CAPE BUT BY THIS POINT THE ATMOSPHERE MAY VERY WILL BE WORKED OVER
AFTER 2 DAYS OF SHOWERS/STORMS. TOUGH TO HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THE
SUNDAY FORECAST AT THIS POINT...THUS VERY FEW CHANGES WERE MADE.

BY MONDAY THE FLOW ALOFT TAKES A TURN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST WHICH
WILL BEGIN A SLOW PERIOD OF DRY ADVECTION /ESPECIALLY ACROSS
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA/. THIS TREND IS SUPPORTED
BY THE DETERMINISTIC/PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE AND IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK WITH MOISTURE/INSTABILITY/PRECIP
CHANCES MIGRATING AWAY FROM THE DESERTS AND INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
CERTAINLY NOT TO SAY THE DESERTS WILL BE DRYING OUT ENTIRELY...BUT
THERE'S A CLEAR EASTWARD SHIFT IN ALL OF THE KEY PARAMETERS FROM
MONDAY ONWARD. WILL MAINTAIN CLIMO-LIKE POPS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED
PORTION OF THE FORECAST...WITH A SMALL NUDGE UPWARD LATE NEXT WEEK
WHEN THE FLOW TAKES ON IT'S MORE TYPICAL MONSOONAL SOUTHEASTERLY
DIRECTION.

&&

AVIATION...
SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING KPHX...KIWA...AND KSDL...

WINDS SHOULD MOSTLY MAINTAIN A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS...THOUGH SOME STORM OUTFLOWS MAY CAUSE SOME ERRATIC
WIND SHIFTS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WEST OF THE PHOENIX
AREA WILL LIKELY SPREAD INTO THE PHOENIX AREA LATER THIS EVENING AND
POTENTIALLY IMPACT AREA TERMINALS

STORM THREATS THIS EVENING INCLUDE GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS AND
LOCALIZED WIND SHEAR EFFECTS...BLOWING DUST AND REDUCED VSBYS. HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A PSBLTY ONCE STORM COVERAGE BEGINS TO
INCREASE WITH CIGS/VSBYS DROPPING INTO MVFR...PSBLY LOWER...VALUES
WITH STORMS AT THE TERMINALS.

KPHX CONFIDENCE...
WINDS - MODERATE ON TIMING OF SHIFTS AND HEADINGS...HIGH FOR ERRATIC
HEADINGS IN TS WINDS THIS EVENING
PRECIP - MODERATE FOR VCTS COVERAGE...LOW TO MODERATE FOR TIMING AT
THE TERMINAL

SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA INCLUDING KIPL AND KBLH...

SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WITH PERIODIC GUSTINESS WILL PERSIST AT
THROUGH THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR THE TERMINALS. CHCS FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL START TONIGHT OVER THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER
VALLEY AND OVER THE REST OF SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA DURING THE DAYTIME
HOURS SATURDAY. CIGS WILL GRADUALLY DEVELOP AND LOWER BETWEEN THE 8-
10KFT RANGE AS STORM AND DEBRIS CLOUDS CONTINUE TO FILL IN ACROSS
THE AREA. PRIMARY THREAT FROM THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
WILL BE GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DRY OUT STARTING MONDAY...BUT LINGERING
MOISTURE WILL PROVIDE SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER AT LEAST EASTERN ARIZONA AND POTENTIALLY PORTIONS OF SOUTH-
CENTRAL ARIZONA AND THEN UP BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS DRIER FLOW ALOFT
OUT OF THE WEST TRANSITIONS INTO THE AREA. MORE OF A TYPICAL MONSOON
REGIME SETS UP STARTING TUESDAY WITH THE DAILY AFTN/EVE THREAT OF
STORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND POTENTIAL FOR STORM OUTFLOW WINDS
DOWN THROUGHOUT THE LOWER DESERT ELEVATIONS. MINIMUM HUMIDITIES OVER
THE DESERTS WILL FOR THE MOST PART DROP INTO THE TEENS EACH DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK.
