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 Mar 8, 9:56 AM PST, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 9:56 AM PST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Phoenix AZ 1056 AM MST Tue Mar 8 2022 .UPDATE...Updated Aviation Discussion. && .SYNOPSIS... Tranquil and somewhat cooler than normal weather will continue through the middle of this week. A strong weather disturbance will dive into the Southwest on Thursday, bringing gusty winds to the area. Slight rain chances will accompany this system, particularly from Phoenix eastward. Quiet weather returns Friday, and a quick warming trend will commence this weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Another quiet night is in progress across the Southwest. The last vestiges of the weather system that brought breezes and virga to portions of the area yesterday is now pushing east into New Mexico. High pressure is arriving from the north to give us quiet weather for the next 48 hours or so. Under lots of sunshine the next couple days, chilly mornings will translate to comfortable afternoons. Highs will range from the upper 60s to low 70s this afternoon across the lower deserts. Wednesday will be a few notches warmer. Most lower elevations will exceed 70F, and places out in the Imperial Valley may get up close to 80F. Ensemble guidance continues to show a vigorous PV anomaly arriving from the north on Thursday. Looking at the jet stream pattern, a speed max at 300 hPa will dive down the eastern flank of the ridge which sits over the Northeast Pacific. As it moves over Arizona, this energy will begin to phase with a branch of the subtropical jet over Northern Mexico. At the surface, the increasing upper-level diffluence will promote low pressure development and frontogenesis across N AZ. High pressure will nudge into the Great Basin, causing strong north winds to flow down the Colorado River Valley by Thursday afternoon. Even here in Metro Phoenix, westerly breezes ahead of the cold front will become gusty at times. This appears to be a more significant version of the disturbance that moved across our area yesterday. Over much of the area, wind gusts were on the order of 25-35 mph. The NBM 4.1 wind gust product is highlighting an increasing threat of advisory level gusts over much of the area. The probability of 40 mph gusts at Blythe and Yuma are around 80%, decreasing to around 40% in Phoenix. As for precipitation opportunities, the short answer is that tallies are highly likely to be light with this disturbance. NBM median precipitation totals are still coming up at 0 for Phoenix, and up to 0.05" in Gila County. Peeking at the 90th percentile (10% chance of occurrence), Phoenix gets up to around 0.1" and Gila County receives up to 0.25". A little snow may mix in over the highest terrain (above 5,000 feet) - but this currently appears inconsequential for our CWA. Notably, this may later become a significant storm system somewhere in the Eastern or Central U.S. One last short-lived batch of cold air advection will follow the cold front on Friday, keeping temperatures a few degrees below normal to end the work week. Phoenix should hold in the mid/upper 60s. Breezes will turn lighter, and sunshine will be in abundance. For the extended... a powerful 180 KT jet streak traversing the Pacific is still forecast to aid in dislodging the stubborn ridge just off the West Coast. As the pattern begins to progress, modest ridging will move over the Southwest U.S. this weekend into early next week. Consequently, the odds of reaching 80F or higher over the lower deserts will skyrocket by Sunday and Monday. For Phoenix, we have around a 70% chance of reaching 80F on Sunday, and it becomes a near certainty by Monday. The Colorado River and Imperial Valleys have the highest chance (50-60%) of reaching 90 degrees early next week. The warmest day of this pattern appears to be next Tuesday (3/15). At the very least, mid/upper 80s will be common around Phoenix by that time. && .AVIATION...Updated at 1750. South-Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, and KDVT No aviation concerns through the TAF period. Skies will remain clear to mostly clear with only FEW high clouds during the evening. Mostly light winds will generally favor the NW-W by early afternoon into the evening. A normal shift to the E-SE is expected tonight by around 05-07Z. After the W switch early Wed afternoon windspeeds will increase to 8-11 kts with gusts into the teens through late afternoon. Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: Skies will remain clear to mostly clear through the TAF period. Wind directions will favor the N this afternoon and W-SW from early evening into tonight at both terminals. Windspeeds will also increase by early afternoon to around 10-12 kts with gusts of 15-20 kts at KBLH through the late afternoon. Light and variable wind conditions will begin early Wed morning at KBLH as well. && .FIRE WEATHER... Thursday through Monday: A strong weather system will cause strong wind gusts across most areas on Thursday. Localized gusts over 40 mph can be expected, particularly over higher terrain and along the Colorado River. Isolated rain is forecast from Phoenix into Gila County, but amounts will stay at or below 0.1" in almost all areas. Cool, dry high pressure returns Friday. It will then turn much warmer (and remain dry) through the weekend into early next week. From Friday onward, afternoon minimum humidity values will likely fall below 10% over our lower elevations. && .PSR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AZ...None.
