Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
936 AM MST TUE JUL 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Monsoon moisture will continue to bring a chance of
showers and thundertorms through Thursday. Strong high pressure
and drier air could result in a downturn in activity toward the
end of the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A wet Monsoon weather pattern continues as the
subtropical ridge is in a favorable position for northward
advection of moisture into Arizona. Expect good coverage for
showers and thunderstorms with subtle changes in the location of
the heavy rainfall from day to day. The morning forecast grids
look good no updates.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION /242 AM MST/...A wide area of high pressure aloft
remained centered over the Oklahoma/Kansas border. The models
continue to promise little movement in this high pressure feature
over the next few days. The position of the high is placing
southerly flow over Arizona with not much change in the moisture
profile through Thursday. Moving forward the distribution of
showers and thunderstorms will remain very similar to Monday.
Isolated heavy rain amounts of an inch or more and localized
flooding will be possible. More generally, amounts in the trace to
quarter inch category scattered about northern Arizona.

From Friday onward...Models show the high pressure system centered
over Oklahoma essentially splitting. The western portion of the
high will migrate across Arizona and eventually become established
over the western United States. If this pattern transpires it will
open the door to an influx of drier air from the west. Forecast
grids reflect a downturn in monsoon activity but moisture looks
too entrenched for a complete shutdown in monsoon activity. We'll
keep you updated.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 18Z package...Primarily VFR conditions are
expected for the next 24 hours with bkn cigs aoa 14kft msl. Look
for sct-nmrs SHRA/TSRA between 17z-02z, especially over mountain
areas. Brief MVFR/IFR conditions and gusty winds possible with
stronger storms. Precipitation coverage decreasing after 02z Wed.
Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Expect another round of thunderstorms over the
forecast area today and Wednesday. Storm motion will generally be
from the south to north 5-10 mph.

Thursday through Saturday...Scattered thunderstorms will persist
across the area on Thursday. Drier air filtering into Arizona from
the west will bring a decrease in thunderstorm activity on Friday
and Saturday...with minimum RH's dropping back into the teens to the
north and west of Flagstaff.
&&

.FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
