AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ 230 PM MST SAT JUL 21 2007 .SYNOPSIS...EXPECT SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TODAY...THEN A SLIGHT COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE. && .DISCUSSION...DEEP MONSOONAL MOISTURE AND PLENTIFUL INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST MODERATE ACTIVITY LEVELS THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. CURRENT CONVECTION IS VERY STRONG...AND HAS VERIFIED SEVERAL WARNINGS. CONVECTION MOVING OFF THE NORTHEAST PLATEAUS WILL LIKELY BRING SOME EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO THE RIM ZONES...AMD THE POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 940 AM MST...FAIRLY PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER IS AFFECTING MOST OF COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES THIS MORNING...WHICH MAY DELAY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT UP TO A FEW HOURS IN THOSE AREAS. OTHERWISE...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE UP SLIGHTLY ACCORDING TO THE KFGZ SOUNDING...WHICH SHOWS 0.92 INCHES PRECIPITABLE WATER...COMPARED WITH 0.84 INCHES YESTERDAY.

THE KFGZ SOUNDING SHOWS OVER 1000 JOULES/KG OF CAPE...WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...A LOW TO MID LEVEL TROUGH HAS BEEN FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO MOVE NORTHWESTWARD INTO ARIZONA FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AND DEEP MOISTURE WITH MORE WIDESPREAD STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...NO BREAK IN THE MOIST FLOW PATTERN IS EXPECTED WITH DAILY ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING. && .AVIATION...FOR THE 00Z PACKAGE...DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA OVER MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH 03Z-05Z.
