AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FLAGSTAFF AZ
328 PM MST TUE JUL 8 2008
.SYNOPSIS... DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA WILL CONTINUE WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA. THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH THE MOGOLLON RIM AND WHITE MOUNTAINS AS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND MOVE SOUTHWESTWARD OFF THE RIM. LATER IN THE WEEK SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RETURN TO NORTHERN ARIZONA AND AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED.
.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EAST PACIFIC... JUST WEST OF ARIZONA. DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT AND DECREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL RESULT ACROSS FAR NORTHERN ARIZONA. HOWEVER... PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ARIZONA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE GREATEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MOGOLLON RIM AND WHITE MOUNTAINS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE GREATER TOMORROW OVER THE CHUSKAS AND BLACK MESA DUE TO SLIGHTLY INCREASED INSTABILITY WITH LI`S AROUND -2. ELSEWHERE... GREATER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED OVER THE MOGOLLON RIM AND WHITE MOUNTAINS WITH LI`S OF -2 TO -4 OVER THE MOGOLLON RIM INTO THE VALLEYS OF YAVAPAI COUNTY. WHILE MID-LEVEL WINDS ARE SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN TODAY... INVERTED V SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE PRIMARY THREAT TOMORROW WILL BE STRONG WINDS. LATER IN THE WEEK... MODELS SUGGEST A RETURN OF EASTERLY AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHERLY FLOW TO ARIZONA ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE ACROSS NORTHERN ARIZONA. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.13 INCHES FOR FLAGSTAFF AND ABOUT 1.30 INCHES FOR PRESCOTT AND WILLIAMS. ALONG WITH THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE... A NUMBER OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH. AS A RESULT... A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND IF THIS PATTERN HOLDS TRUE. INITIALLY... THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE ALONG THE MOGOLLON RIM AND WHITE MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY AND ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN ARIZONA OVER THE WEEKEND. A GENERAL RAMPING UP OF POPS ARE THEREFORE REFLECTED IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE GRIDS.
.AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z PACKAGE... ISOLATED AND MOSTLY LIGHT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 02Z FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AZ INCLUDING YAVAPAI AND NORTHERN GILA COUNTIES.
