What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Phoenix, AZ wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Apr 10, 8:45 PM MST, 5 hours 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 8:45 PM MST, 5 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
845 PM MST Tue Apr 10 2018
.UPDATE...Updated aviation discussion.
&&
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong high pressure will keep temperatures well above normal
through Wednesday. Highs temperatures will reach into the upper
90s through Wednesday across the lower deserts. A strong, dry cold
front weather system will then move across the region Thursday
into early Friday ushering in windy and significantly cooler
conditions through Saturday. Increasing high pressure and a
rebound in temperatures is expected for the weekend with highs
back into the upper 80s to lower 90s by Sunday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Current satellite imagery has a large area of patchy and thin cirrus
drifting across the region, with and ahead of the upper ridge axis
over the western states. With plenty of insolation penetrating the
cirrus layer, temperatures are heating up rapidly across the lower
deserts under the influence of the strong high pressure. As a
result, high temperatures today through Wednesday are expected to
reach the mid to upper 90s which represents the hottest temperatures
observed in the region so far this year. Similarly, these
temperatures will also produce the most significant heat risk so far
this year, especially for Maricopa county eastward, with normal
highs for this time of year being near 84 degrees. Along with the
heat, very dry conditions remain in place with low RH values already
well below 15 percent.
On Wednesday the ridge axis shifts east and flattens as heights begin
to fall ahead of a strong Pacific weather system encroaching on the
west coast. In spite of the falling heights, H5 heights are expected
to remain near 582dam to support the last day of significant heat
risk of the week. With Wednesday's tightening gradient, strong
gusty winds are forecast to develop late Wednesday afternoon to
Wednesday night, first over SE CA and then spreading east into AZ
ahead of, and with the dry cold front. Chances for areas of
blowing dust will begin first in SE CA with FROPA on Wednesday
night.
The dry cold front is forecast to push through the remaining lower
desert areas on Thursday with a good shot of cold air, very
strong and gusty winds, and more areas of blowing dust. The FROPA
for Phoenix should occur near 18Z. Additional CAA, strong post
frontal winds, and areas of blowing dust will continue to impact
the lower deserts through Friday and Friday night/early Saturday
morning. This system will bring high to extreme fire danger to
the region on Thursday with Red Flag warnings already in place
across the entire region. Elevated fire danger will continue on
Friday, however with cooler temperatures. The highs by Friday are
only expected to reach the mid to upper 70s.
On Saturday models are in good agreement on a ridge building over
the Intermountain West and ushering in a rebound of temperatures.
The weekend warming trend will bring seasonably warm 80s for
Saturday and the upper 80s to low 90s for Sunday and Monday.
The next weather system on Monday should drop Tuesday's
temperatures back down near seasonable norms.
&&
.AVIATION...
South-Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, and KSDL:
Periods of high clouds will continue, with typical diurnal wind
patterns across area terminals. West winds will be slightly
stronger Wednesday afternoon, around 10-12 kt, with a few gusts
possible. Otherwise, aviation concerns should remain minimal.
Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH:
A westerly component of the surface wind will be maintained
across most of southeast California overnight into late Wednesday.
Primary aviation concern will be strengthening winds Wednesday
afternoon, after 19Z at KBLH, and after 22Z at KIPL, with gusts to
25 kt expected. Periodic high clouds are forecast.
Aviation Discussion not updated for amended TAFs.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Friday through Tuesday...
The combination of gusty northwesterly winds and humidities aob 15
percent behind a weather system the will be moving off to the east
will keep fire danger levels at high to very high levels, especially
across parts of Southwest and South-Central AZ, in spite of below-
normal temperatures (lower desert highs in the mid-70's to low-80's)
across the region. High pressure building into the region from the
west is expected to reduce wind speeds, and fire danger levels from
Saturday into Monday, with temperatures returning to above-normal
values (90's across the lower deserts). Another weather system could
bring cooler temperatures and elevated fire danger levels to the
region next Tuesday.
