Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tucson AZ
133 PM MST Thu Aug 10 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Monsoon moisture has returned to the region with
daily shower and thunderstorm activity continuing into next week.
As a result of the increase in moisture afternoon temperatures
will settle back to more average levels through the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The 18Z sounding was rather respectable with shear
and instability which results in a potential for strong, well
structured storm development. Approaching MCV will help with
forcing this afternoon and evening. Currently the best low level
convergence is located across much of the southern most part of
the forecast area where storms are beginning to develop and the
best upper level divergence is across western Pima county where CA
Models are indicating significant development later today.
Overall feel the best "action" will occur across Pima, Santa Cruz
and western most Cochise county although can't rule out a storm
anywhere.

As the MCV continues to move north tonight combined with the
lingering moisture and left over instability all that should
allow for some overnight convection here and there although would
not expect it to be strong.

For Friday we will likely end up with a more down day as the MCV
will be north of the area leaving our area in an unfavorable
location for development. That said the low level moisture
combined with sunshine should be able to kick off at least some
activity Friday afternoon and then mainly over higher terrain.

This weekend we are expecting the activity to pick up again with a
moisture surge and a weak trough for a focusing mechanism. At this
range details are lacking so stay tuned. At least with all the
expected activity and moisture high temperatures should be
tempered some.

Looking further out ahead it appears that SW flow will develop over
the region allowing for drying to gradually take hold through the
week.

&&

.AVIATION...Valid thru 12/00Z.
SCT-BKN clouds at 7k-12k ft AGL this afternoon/evening with
scattered to numerous TSRA/SHRA persisting thru 11/05Z then
ISOLD-SCT -SHRA/TSRA continuing through the night. MVFR ceilings
and visibilities near stronger TSRA along with strong and gusty
outflows possible with TSRA. After 11/15Z SCT-BKN 6-12k with
ISOLD-SCT -TSRA/-SHRA after 11/19Z. Outside of storms SFC winds
generally less than 12 kts. Aviation discussion not updated for
TAF amendments.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Active this evening with plenty of storms
expected, especially western areas. Then Friday is expected to be
more of a down monsoon day with fewer storms. Plenty of moisture
will be over the area this weekend which should result in plenty
of activity this weekend then slowly ramping down through next
week. Humidity levels will remain elevated through at least the
early part of next week with typical mid summer winds.

&&

.TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
