Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tucson AZ 155 PM MST Fri Jul 30 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms can be anticipated this evening and Saturday. Thereafter, the overall trend in thunderstorm coverage will be less for most of next week and focused south and east of Tucson. High temperatures will trend up next week with readings peaking around Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery was showing a few showers and thunderstorms already developing, mainly in the mountains, early this afternoon. The general area of concern for flash flooding will be west of Tucson where a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through late tonight for western and central Pima county. The greater Tucson metro will be on the fringes, so cannot rule out an isolated thunderstorm with heavy downpours impacting the city. Ensembles favored a decreasing trend in daily thunderstorm coverage Sunday into the work week with no strong signal indicating otherwise. High temperatures will also peak slightly above normal around Tuesday based on limited thunderstorm activity and a relatively drier airmass in place. && .AVIATION...Valid through 01/00Z. Increasing clouds into this evening becoming SCT-BKN 10k-14k ft MSL. ISOLD-SCT SHRA/TSRA through early Saturday morning with strong erratic wind gusts in excess of 30 kts, heavy downpours, and temporary MVFR CIGS/VSBYS. ISOLD-SCT SHRA/TSRA redeveloping Saturday afternoon. Outside of TSRA outflows, SFC wind will generally remain less than 12 kts. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments. && .FIRE WEATHER...Scattered showers and thunderstorms area-wide today before a downward trend in storm activity this weekend into early next week when storm chances will mainly be from Tucson eastward. Storms will likely produce erratic, gusty winds and locally heavy downpours. RH values remain well above critical thresholds through at least the middle of next week. Temps will remain near to slightly below normal. 20-foot winds will generally be less than 15 mph when not influenced by thunderstorms. && .TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch through late tonight for public zones AZZ501-502. && Visit us on Facebook...Twitter...YouTube...and at weather.gov/Tucson
