MOJAVE DESERT/SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
300 AM PDT MON JUL 2 2001
SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL
PROVIDE AN INCREASINGLY MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE
FORECAST FOR MOST AREAS TODAY AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER...NORTHWEST
ARIZONA WILL SEE A GREATER THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY.
DISCUSSION...FOUR CORNERS HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE WITH MID LEVEL
MOISTURE ROTATING THROUGH ARIZONA. THUNDERSTORMS WERE MAINLY
CONFINED TO AREAS OF EASTERN AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA AS MUCH OF THE
LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS THOSE AREAS. MODELS ALSO SHOW A
SERIES OF VORTMAXES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THESE MAY HELP TO KICK OFF A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND
TUESDAY...BUT WITH CONDITIONS AT THE LOWER LEVELS DRY AND LACK OF
DYNAMICS...FEEL THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. BY
WEDNESDAY...AVN IS SHOWING MUCH DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PUSHING
NORTHWARD. PW'S INCREASE TO OVER AN INCH WITH LI'S 0/-2. THIS LOOKS
TO BE THE FIRST BIG CHANCE OF WET THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE
SOUTHERN CWA. THE MOISTURE INCREASES EVEN MORE BY THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WITH PW'S BETWEEN 1.25 AND 1.50 INCHES. TEMPERATURES WILL
ALSO REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEK BEFORE SOME COOLING
OCCURS LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE HIGH CENTER SLIDES A BIT EAST.
.LAS....NONE.
