Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 2:18 PM MST, 11 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tucson AZ 218 PM MST Wed Oct 16 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cooling trend will occur this week with more significant cooling by late in the week and into the weekend as a weather system pushes through the region. This system will also result in increased winds and a chance for valley rain and high elevation mountain snow Friday into Saturday. High chances for the first freeze for Cochise, Graham, and Greenlee Counties on Saturday and Sunday mornings. && .DISCUSSION...This afternoon's satellite imagery showed low lying cloud layer with a few radar echoes of virga moving northeasterly. The latest convective allowing models showed showers and an isolated storm developing late this afternoon and into the late night. There are less than 15 percent chances for storm or shower development as the cold front has morphed into a stationary boundary along the Arizona and New Mexico border. The next four days will be a change in weather for the region. A weather system will be impacting the area starting tomorrow to bring winds, chances for showers and mountain snow, and colder temperatures. To start, a dry trough will pass over the region tomorrow to bring mainly breezy southerly to southwesterly winds. The wind prone areas could experience sustained winds around 25 mph where most of the region experiencing 15 to 20 mph. Behind the trough, a low pressure center will drop into the Great Basin by Friday. The pressure gradient is very tight and create windy conditions across the region. Most of the areas will likely experience 25 mph sustained with the wind prone areas close to 30 mph. The gusts can be high up to 40 to 45 mph for most areas. There is even a gust potential to exceed 50 mph for the eastern counties which is at least 50% chance. This results in blowing dust issues, especially along the I-10 corridor in Cochise County and other dust prone areas. This system will bring chances for showers, thunderstorms, and high elevation mountain snow. The EFI shows a weak signal for instability for the western part of the region. This is the better location for thunderstorms as the cold front passes through western Pima and portions of Pinal Counties before hitting the Sky Islands. There could be a few embedded storms as the front moves through. Although, the storm rainfall and snow amounts are very low and be more wetting the ground. Snow levels will be around 7,000 feet and White Mountains having the higher chances for the dusting of snow by Friday night. On Saturday, the weather system will start to exit and leaving behind colder morning temperatures. The Sulphur Springs Valley and other low lying areas near washes and rivers in Cochise, Graham, and Greenlee Counties have chances for freezing temperatures. The latest guidance has the Willcox Playa a 30% and a 75% chance for 32 degrees or colder for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. With that in mind, it will be one of the first freezes for the season and thus, a Freeze Watch has been issued for those low lying locations in Cochise, Graham, Santa Cruz, and Greenlee Counties Saturday and Sunday morning. Otherwise, the other locations will see one of the cooler days of October this weekend. As always, high pressure will start to creep back into the region starting early next week and temperatures will be back on the rise. At this time, the forecasted temperatures will be above seasonal normals and potentially at records. && .AVIATION...Valid through 18/00Z. SCT-BKN clouds at 10k-13k ft AGL with another SCT-BKN layer at 18-20K moving into the region by 17/06Z through the end of the forecast period. A slight chance of -SHRA east of a KALK to KSAD line until 17/10z. SLY/SELY SFC wind at 10-15 kts until 17/02Z and being less than 12 kts. After 17/16Z, SLY/SWLY winds at 12-18 kts with gusts to 30 kts until the late evening. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments. && .FIRE WEATHER...There will be a slight chance of sprinkles and/or light showers in the higher terrain of Cochise, Graham and Greenlee counties this afternoon and into the late night. Otherwise, dry conditions will prevail through Thursday. 20-foot wind speeds will generally be 15 mph or less today, with increasing south- southwest winds at 15-20 mph and gusts around 30 mph on Thursday. A storm system will move into the region Friday into Saturday. This will result in much cooler temperatures, a chance of showers and thunderstorms (and high elevation snow showers), as well as strong and gusty southwest to west winds. While wind speeds will exceed fire weather thresholds on Friday, minimum RH values will be above thresholds in the 20-40 percent range. Behind this system, warmer and drier conditions are expected by early next week. && .TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
