NWS Flagstaff, AZ wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 25, 3:00 PM MST, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ 300 PM MST FRI JUL 25 2008 .SYNOPSIS...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL PERSIST THIS WEEK ACROSS THE NORTHLAND WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH BY THE WEEKEND...INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. && .DISCUSSION...A MOIST AIRMASS OVER NORTHERN ARIZONA...ALONG WITH SOME EARLY MORNING SUNSHINE...HAS HELPED TO INITIATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN OF NORTHERN ARIZONA THIS AFTERNOON. ONE AREA OF STORMS HAS PRODUCED HEAVY RAINFALL AND A SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY WAS ISSUED. THE MAIN THREAT OF THESE STORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN WITH A SECONDARY THREAT OF SEVERE HAIL. A COMPLEX SITUATION SETTING UP FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND ANTECEDENT LOW FROM THE NOW DECAYING TROPICAL STORM OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS IS FORECAST TO MOVE IN A WEST AND NORTHWEST TRACK. THE FLOW IS GENERALLY OUT OF A SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION THANKS TO RIDGING CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS. MODEL SOLUTIONS WANT TO DEVELOP ANOTHER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC OVER THE WEEKEND. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THE REMNANT TROPICAL LOW MOVING NORTH ACROSS NEW MEXICO AND EASTERN ARIZONA...AND PUSHING THE ASSOCIATED MOISTURE WITH IT. PWS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA. DURING THE SATURDAY TIMEFRAME THAT MOISTURE WILL WORK ITS WAY NORTH INTO THE WHITES AND MAYBE EVEN THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE LCR. THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME WARMING ALOFT WHEN THE WARM CORE COMES ACROSS WITH THIS MOISTURE. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING TEMPERATURES AT 500 MB WARMING SEVERAL DEGREES TO AROUND -3 TO -4C WHICH WOULD HELP TO STABILIZE THE AIRMASS A BIT. THINKING RIGHT NOW IS THAT WITH THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND THE WARMING...WE MAY ONLY GET LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS OUT OF THIS. THEREFORE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS NOT ISSUED FOR THE WHITES. HOWEVER...WEVE UPDATED THIS MORNINGS HWO TO HIGHLIGHT THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN FORECAST AREA...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. POPS WERE TWEAKED SOMEWHAT OVER WHAT WAS INHERITED AND WELL CONTINUE TO MONITOR GUIDANCE AND ADJUST POP COVERAGE AS NECESSARY. MODELS ARE INDICATING SOME SLIGHT DRYING FROM ABOUT TUESDAY THROUGH THE WEEK AND POPS WERE TRENDED DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY AS A RESULT. STILL LOOKING FOR A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY NONETHELESS. && .AVIATION...FOR THE 00Z PACKAGE...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA...WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE SLOWLY AFTER 03Z-05Z TONIGHT AND THEN BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AGAIN AFTER 18Z SATURDAY. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDMENTS. && .FIRE WEATHER...SEE FIRE WEATHER FORECAST (FWFFGZ) FOR DISCUSSION OF DAYS 1 AND 2. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. && PUBLIC.............42 AVIATION/FIRE WX...KD VISIT WEATHER.GOV/FLAGSTAFF FOR NORTHERN ARIZONA WEATHER INFORMATION.
