Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. In addition, strong winds over desert areas could result in briefly lowered visibilities to well under a mile at times in blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra caution. && $$

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Phoenix AZ 1010 PM MST Mon Nov 14 2022 .UPDATE... Updated Aviation && .SYNOPSIS... Quiet, cool weather is in place this week though jet stream energy will arrive over the area by midweek. This will lead to a period of gusty winds, particularly on Wednesday. Meanwhile, cooler than normal temperatures will persist through the end of the week. After chilly mornings, plentiful sunshine will warm temperatures into the upper 60s to lower 70s during the afternoon over the lower elevations, including metro Phoenix. && .DISCUSSION... Dry and cool are the keywords of the forecast over the next several days, as we are essentially in a persistence scenario across the Desert Southwest. Lows this morning were in the low-mid 40's in the more urbanized areas across the lower deserts, with many of the more rural outlying areas seeing lows in the upper 30's. These low temps are quite cool, about 7-10 degrees below the normals for the date. For the next 36 hours or so, we are sitting between our exiting disturbance and the next dry weather maker(s), currently off to our northwest. Cold advection is underway, so expect a cool Monday - with Metro Phoenix holding in the 60s once again. A few high clouds will filter through here tomorrow, but temperatures should get a slight nudge upward ahead of the next weather maker. The most interesting part of the forecast comes down to finessing how a pair of shortwaves move southward into the region on Wednesday as the overall long-wave pattern over North America continues to amplify. 500mb height normalized anomalies are expected to rise as high as +4 SD above climo over the Yukon Territory/eastern Interior Alaska and as low as -2 to -3 SD below climo over the mid- Mississippi Valley by Wednesday. Progged H7 RH values remain <5%, so the only impact here is wind. There continues to be fair disagreement between the EPS and GEFS means. This is most notable in the surface pressure field. The pressure gradient is more pronounced on the EPS, largely because it has a stronger surface high (~1050mb east of Reno, NV) when compared to the GEFS (~1040mb in S Idaho). The EPS solution has support from its Canadian counterpart. Impressively, the 1050mb EPS high over the Great Basin exceeds the 30-year max CFS-Reanalysis climate for mid- November. Thus, the ECMWF EFI for wind gust potential remains in the 0.7-0.8 across parts of C AZ extending over into the CO Valley and SE Cali. This indicates that unusually enhanced wind gusts are becoming more likely if the EPS solution of a stronger high & gradient plays out. Our official forecast now has northerly wind gusts from 30-40 mph in the lower elevations over parts of SE CA on Wednesday morning, with gusts in excess of 50 mph over the ridgetops. If confidence in the EPS scenario continues to grow, wind advisories may be needed for some locations, with the greatest likelihood being the Joshua Tree NP zone(560). Localized blowing dust is likely as well. Over South- Central AZ, elevated northeasterly winds are likely as well Wednesday morning, especially over the ridgetops north and east of Phoenix. However, wind speeds over South-Central AZ are expected to remain under wind advisory thresholds. From Thursday through the weekend, we will remain under the influence of a highly-amplified upper air pattern affecting the continent. Ensembles continue to anchor exceptional and/or record 4- sigma positive height anomalies over Yukon by Thursday. Resultant downstream meridional flow will continue to allow disturbances to dive south and replenish abnormally cold air into much of the country through the weekend. Around here, one such disturbance tucked in the flow appears to move nearby Friday. The Intermountain West, as far south as Northern Arizona, will feel the coldest air when compared to normal. For us, it simply reinforces chilly mornings and tepid afternoon readings from the upper 60s to low 70s. It still looks like the pattern will try to flatten out in about a week, which could allow some shortwave ridging to build across the Southwest ahead of Thanksgiving. This would warm us up a bit and keep it relatively dry. && .AVIATION...Updated 0510Z. South-Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, and KDVT; and Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: No major weather concerns will exist through Tuesday evening under periods of high cirrus decks. In the Phoenix metro, typical wind shifts will be more subtle than usual with an earlier shift to E/NE Tuesday evening. Extended periods of light and variable winds may be common through the early afternoon. In SE California, northerly winds will be the most preferred direction with some increase in strength late Tuesday afternoon. && .FIRE WEATHER... Dry weather prevails through at least the next 7 days with temperatures remaining below normal, with highs generally in the upper 60s to low 70 degrees across the lower deserts. Lighter winds return today and Tuesday, before another disturbance delivers a round of windy conditions Wednesday. MinRH values through Tuesday will generally range between 15 and 25% areawide, falling to 10-20% by Wednesday and Thursday. The combination of windy conditions and low RH values will likely lead to areas of elevated Fire Danger on Wednesday over parts of SE CA/Lower Colorado River Valley. Morning recovery will generally be from 25-60%, lowest on Wednesday morning. && .PSR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AZ...None. CA...None. && DISCUSSION...Percha/Heil AVIATION...18 FIRE WEATHER...Percha/Heil
