Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tucson AZ 1136 AM MST Thu Jun 30 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms will be present each afternoon and evening this week across southeast Arizona with plenty of moisture in place. High temperatures will remain near to slightly below normal. && .UPDATE...Current satellite and radar imagery is showing storms developing across the higher terrain primarily east of Tucson. CAMs are consistent with this development and supports continued development into the afternoon. For the Tucson Metro, guidance is trending down for precip potential. CAMs from 12hrs ago showed more robust activity, however many 12Z runs and the most recent HRRR, is not excited about Tucson's chances. So expect more isolated coverage across the Metro with best chance south and east of the city. Any storm will be capable of gusty winds, small hail, and very heavy rain. Localized flooding is possible, however is not expected to be widespread. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 308 AM MST Thu Jun 30 2022/ Very isolated showers were occurring this morning across SE AZ. The continued ebb and flow of monsoon moisture across the area over the next week will lead to daily rounds of scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. As usual the coverage of storms will vary each day. High temperatures will vary a degree or two above or below normal, depending on location, over the next week. && .AVIATION...Valid through 01/18Z. SCT-BKN clouds at 11k-14k ft AGL with ISOLD -SHRA/-TSRA thru 30/18Z. Between 30/18Z and 01/04Z, SCT-BKN clouds at 7k-9k ft AGL and SCT SHRA/TSRA. Diminishing clouds and shower/storm activity aft 01/04Z. Erratic SFC wind gusts and outflows in excess of 40 kts possible with TSRA during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, SFC wind less than 12 kts, favoring a WLY direction during the afternoon and evening hours and variable in direction at other times. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments. && .FIRE WEATHER...Monsoon moisture will remain in place over the next several days keeping RH values above critical thresholds. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon and evening, potentially lingering into the late night hours some nights.
