Damaging Winds in Arizona, July 2, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
1045 AM MST SAT JUL 2 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE HOTTEST WEATHER SO FAR THIS YEAR IS EXPECTED TODAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT STRENGTHENS OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. GUSTY
WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND EAST AND BLOWING DUST ARE EXPECTED IN
THE SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA DESERT INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA
BY THIS EVENING. HUMIDITY WILL INCREASE WITH AN INCREASING CHANCE OF
MOSTLY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY
AND THE 4TH OF JULY. BLOWING DUST IS EXPECTED IN THE DESERT AREAS
AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. IT WILL NOT BE AS HOT BEGINNING SUNDAY.
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MAINLY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THIS COMING WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
...NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE EXPECTED TODAY...FOLLOWED BY AN
INCREASE IN HUMIDITY AND NOT AS HOT WEATHER...

THERE WAS SOME CLOUDINESS FROM THE EAST-SOUTHEAST MOVING ACROSS
SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA THIS
MORNING WHILE IT WAS SUNNY OVER SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA. DESPITE THE CLOUDINESS...TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY 4
TO 10 DEGREES WARMER IN SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING THE GREATER
PHOENIX AREA LATE THIS MORNING COMPARED WITH THE SAME TIME
YESTERDAY. MEANWHILE...IT WAS GENERALLY 3 TO 6 DEGREES WARMER IN
SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA INCLUDING YUMA AND EL
CENTRO. DEW POINT TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY 2 TO 6 DEGREES HIGHER.
WIND WAS GENERALLY LIGHT MOSTLY FROM THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.

THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM ALOFT OVER NEW MEXICO IS BECOMING STRONGER
WITH THE HOTTEST WEATHER SO FAR THIS YEAR AND NEAR RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TODAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BECOME
ESTABLISHED NEAR THE 4 CORNERS AND FILTER SOME MOISTURE INTO OUR
AREA BY TONIGHT WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN MOISTURE SUNDAY
AND THE 4TH OF JULY.

THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP TO OUR EAST ARE EXPECTED TO SEND STRONG
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND BLOWING DUST INTO THE SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA
DESERT AREAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING AND POSSIBLY AS
FAR WEST AS LA PAZ COUNTY AFTER THAT THIS EVENING. IF THERE ARE ANY
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE EAST THAT MOVE WEST
OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA DESERT AREAS THIS EVENING...THEY
WOULD BE QUITE ISOLATED WITH VERY LITTLE IF ANY RAINFALL IN MOST
AREAS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
INCREASE IN MONSOONAL MOISTURE IS ALREADY EVIDENT ON THE LATEST IR
SATELLITE IMAGES...WITH MID CLOUDS DEVELOPING FURTHER NORTHWESTWARD
INTO SE AZ. THE MOISTURE IS DUE TO THE INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
BETWEEN A STRONG ANTICYCLONE ATOP AZ/NM AND AN INVERTED TROUGH/VORT
MAX NEAR THE SONORA/CHIHUAHUA BORDER.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE BIG CONCERN FOR TODAY.
FORECAST MAX TEMP OF 116 DEGREES IN PHOENIX WOULD TIE THE RECORD FOR
THE DAY AND WOULD BE THE WARMEST DAY SINCE JULY 22 2006. TONIGHT THE
ATTENTION TURNS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN EAST OF PHOENIX. POPS WERE INCREASED ROUGHLY 5 TO
10 PERCENT PER THE LATEST TRENDS IN THE SREF. ALTHOUGH MOST SPOTS
WILL NOT SEE RAINFALL THIS EVENING...LOCAL WRF CONTINUES TO SUGGEST
THAT A STRONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL PROPAGATE INTO THE PHOENIX METRO
AREA THIS EVENING. ANY STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY
AREAS OF BLOWING DUST IN THE LOWER DESERTS.

A SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN IS EXPECTED SUNDAY AS BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
SHOW DEEPER MOISTURE WORKING ITS WAY NORTHWARD INTO THE SONORAN
DESERT. FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE WEIGHTED HEAVILY TOWARDS THE
ECMWF AND WERE GENERALLY LOWERED 3 TO 5 DEGREES. ALTHOUGH HEAT
INDICES ABOVE 105 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY...LOCAL EXCESSIVE HEAT
CRITERIA WILL NOT BE MET AND THE WARNING WAS TRIMMED BACK IN
TIME...ENDING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. LOW-LEVEL MIXING RATIOS IN
EXCESS OF 8 G/KG WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND BLOWING DUST WITH
REDUCED VISIBILITIES. LATEST GUIDANCE IS HINTING THAT THE ACTIVITY
WILL CONTINUE WESTWARD OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING
ACROSS SE CA.

ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY EXPECTED FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. STRONG MOISTURE
FLUX WILL AGAIN SUPPORT SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS. GUIDANCE IS LIKELY FAILING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
PRESENCE OF CONVECTION AND TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE TOO HIGH.
OFFICIAL FORECAST IS AGAIN WEIGHTED HEAVILY TOWARDS THE COOLER
ECMWF...RESULTING IN A DROP OF 5 TO 7 DEGREES FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST.

TUE-SAT...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS THE MONSOON HIGH REMAINS POSITIONED TO
OUR NORTH AND EAST. LATEST GFS/ECMWF ALSO SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION
MAY BE ENHANCED BY A CONTINENTAL PV FRACTURE TUE-THU. SLIGHTLY
WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE
FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AHEAD OF A TROUGH ALONG THE WEST
COAST.

&&

.AVIATION...

SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING KPHX AND KIWA AIRFIELDS...EAST AND
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE AND PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING DUE TO A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF EASTERN ARIZONA AND THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR OUTFLOW WINDS
TO AFFECT THE PHOENIX AREA AFTER 00Z...IN ADDITION TO THE BREEZINESS
ALREADY ANTICIPATED. THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO SURVIVE OVER
THE PHOENIX AREA...HOWEVER THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LOWERED VISIBILITIES
NEAR 4-5SM WITH SOME BLOWING DUST OR HAZE DUE TO THE STRONG OUTFLOWS
AND HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO GROUP DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF EXACT
TIMING.

SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AND AND FAR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA INCLUDING
KIPL...AND KBLH AIRFIELDS...
DIURNAL WIND PATTERNS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH MODELS
INDICATING A GULF SURGE DEVELOPING AFTER 06Z TONIGHT BRINGING
ENHANCED SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST BREEZINESS. REMNANT MID TO HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS FROM DISTANT THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE IN LATE TONIGHT
AS WELL.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
A MONSOON PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE NEXT WEEK WITH A FOUR CORNERS
HIGH LEADING TO EAST AND SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT. THERE WILL BE AT
LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. THERE WILL BE
FLUCTUATIONS IN HUMIDITIES FROM DAY TO DAY BUT OVERALL...MINIMUM
HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 15 PERCENT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY BEFORE SLOWLY DECLINING. SIMILAR TRENDS CAN BE EXPECTED IN
THE MAX HUMIDITIES. AS IS TYPICAL...MOST STORMS WILL PRODUCE MORE
WIND THAN RAIN BUT WETTING RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH INDIVIDUAL
THUNDERSTORMS.

...STRONG GUSTY WINDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING WITH
BLOWING DUST POSSIBLE IN THE DESERT AREAS...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE EAST OF THE
GREATER PHOENIX AREA ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE WEST ACROSS SOUTHERN GILA
COUNTY AND THE TONTO NATIONAL FOREST FOOTHILLS THIS AFTERNOON.

MOST OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AS THEY MOVE
INTO THE DESERT AREAS. HOWEVER...STRONG GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE
DESERT INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS
EVENING. SOME OF THE WINDS COULD GUST TO OVER 40 MPH.

THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SOME BLOWING DUST ESPECIALLY
IN THE OPEN DESERT AREAS WHERE A DUST STORM IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING. THIS INCLUDES MARICOPA COUNTY...NORTHWEST
AND NORTH-CENTRAL PINAL COUNTY...AND POSSIBLY EVEN LA PAZ AND YUMA
COUNTIES.

IF YOU SEE A DUST STORM APPROACHING OR GET CAUGHT IN ONE...PULL OFF
TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS FAR AS SAFELY POSSIBLE...PUT YOUR VEHICLE
IN PARK...TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL...AND TURN YOUR LIGHTS
ALL THE WAY OFF.

IT WOULD BE WISE TO SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE
WIND. THE WIND COULD ALSO MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES.
