Damaging Wind in Arizona, July 3, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
345 PM MST SUN JUL 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER OR NEAR THE
FOUR CORNERS AREA THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY. CLOCKWISE FLOW AROUND
THE HIGH...COMBINED WITH THE PASSAGE OF WEATHER DISTURBANCES ACROSS
NORTHWEST MEXICO...WILL BRING A DECENT CHANCE FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE LOWER DESERT...ESPECIALLY
TONIGHT AND ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. TOWARD THE END OF THE
WEEK...EXPECT AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY SOUTH CENTRAL ARIZONA AS THE
CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND A SOMEWHAT
DRIER SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS ALOFT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER HIGH CENTERED OVER/NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS...WHILE A SUBTROPICAL
WEATHER DISTURBANCE WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF
OF CALIFORNIA. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS...ANOMALOUSLY STRONG
20-30 KT MID TROPOSPHERIC EAST-SOUTHEAST WIND IN PLACE. ATMOSPHERE
IS QUITE UNSTABLE...WITH SBCAPE ABOVE 1000 G/KG OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST ARIZONA...THANKS PRIMARILY TO A BIG INCREASE IN MOISTURE
(PRECIPITABLE WATER RANGES FROM 1.2 TO 1.7" (125-160% OF NORMAL)...
WITH HIGHEST VALUES OVER FAR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST
ARIZONA). RATHER HOT BOUNDARY LAYER IN PLACE TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER
SOUTH-CENTRAL AZ WHERE PHOENIX SKY HARBOR HAS ALREADY REACHED 112.
SFC DEW POINTS WERE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S OVER FAR SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA...AND IN THE 50S OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL
AZ. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE MOGOLLON
RIM...AS WELL AS OVER PIMA COUNTY. STORMS WERE SCARCE OVER SOUTHEAST
AZ WHERE WEAK DRY ADVECTION IS ONGOING. GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DRIER
AND MOIST AIR MASSES APPEARS LIKELY TO EXIST ACROSS WEST-CENTRAL/
SOUTHWEST AZ THIS EVENING...THE AREA WHERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
MORE WIDESPREAD AND PERSISTENT...AND STORMS COULD PROPAGATE OVER FAR
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA LATER THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...ISOLATED TO
POSSIBLY SCATTERED STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL AZ DUE
MAINLY TO OUTFLOW BOUNDARY COLLISIONS. BLOWING DUST CAN BE EXPECTED
NEAR ANY STORMS OVER THE LOWER DESERT THIS EVENING...AS DCAPE
INDICATES STRONG/DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE.

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER HIGH
REMAINS CENTERED OVER/NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS...MOISTURE REMAINS IN
PLACE...AND STRONGER-THAN-NORMAL EAST TO SOUTHEAST MID TROPOSPHERIC
WINDS PREVAIL. ABOVE CLIMO PRECIP/TSTM CHANCES LOOK GOOD...WHICH IS
REFLECTED IN LATEST FORECAST. SHEAR/MOISTURE PROFILES...RATHER
IMPRESSIVE TODAY...LOOK A BIT MORE FAVORABLE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
ACCORDING TO SPC SREF GUIDANCE...BUT DOUBT IT WILL BE QUITE AS
UNSTABLE OVER SOUTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL AZ. HOWEVER...MORE CONVECTION
SHOULD FIRE TO OUR SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY AS MOISTURE INCREASES IN THAT
AREA...WHICH BODES WELL FOR SCTD TSTMS TO AFFECT SOUTH-CENTRAL AZ
AGAIN MONDAY EVENING. COULD SEE A BIT MORE RAIN WITH STORMS GIVEN
EXPECTATION OF A BIT MORE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (EDITED)...
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE BASIC LARGE SCALE PATTERN IS
ADVERTISED TO REMAIN THE SAME THROUGH ABOUT THURSDAY...WITH
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW ALOFT REMAINING IN PLACE AND A 500 MB HIGH CENTER
FLUCTUATING AROUND THE 4 CORNERS/SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THUS...THE STORM
CHANCES CONTINUE. DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE EXTENDED...BOTH GFS
AND ECMWF SHOW A TREND TOWARD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT BUT WITHOUT A
BIG DRY OUT...MORE OF A SLOW DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST AND POPS
REFLECT THIS. TEMPS WILL STAY WARM BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW EXCESSIVE
HEAT THRESHOLDS.

&&

.AVIATION...
SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING KPHX AND KIWA AIRFIELDS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTH THROUGH EAST AND
SOUTH ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA THIS
EVENING. ESTIMATED TIMING IS GENERALLY BETWEEN 0200 AND 0600 AT KIWA
AND 0300 AND 0700 AT KPHX. BLOWING DUST IS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE
STORMS WITH REDUCED VISIBILITY AND LOCALLY STRONGER GUSTY VARIABLE
WINDS. HAVE HANDLED THIS IN THE TAF WITH VCTS/CB...GUSTY WINDS AND
REDUCED VISIBILITY...AND WILL ALSO BE HANDLED WITH TAF AMENDMENTS.

SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AND AND FAR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA INCLUDING
KIPL...AND KBLH AIRFIELDS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE AREA MAINLY
LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. HAVE HANDLED THIS IN THE KIPL TAF
WITH CB...GUSTY VARIABLE WINDS AND SOMEWHAT REDUCED VISIBILITY...BUT
NOT AS MUCH CONFIDENCE AT KBLH...AND THE SITUATION WILL BE HANDLED
WITH TAF AMENDMENTS. OTHERWISE SOMEWHAT GUSTY WINDS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH ARE EXPECTED AT TIMES MAINLY THIS EVENING.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
TYPICAL JULY PATTERN IS EXPECTED. NO SIGNIFICANT WIND IS EXPECTED
ANY GIVEN DAY. HOWEVER...STORMS WILL BE AROUND MAINLY IN THE LATE
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
LIKELY. WITH THE MOISTURE...THE THREAT OF DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED THIS WEEK. ALSO...MINIMUM HUMIDITY WILL ONLY
DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER TEENS WITH GOOD OVERNIGHT RECOVERY
EXPECTED.
