NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Tucson Arizona 213 am MST Wednesday may 16 2012 Synopsis...dry conditions with above average temperatures will prevail into early next week. Expect breezy to windy conditions Friday as an upper level low pressure system passes north of the area. && Discussion...still looking at some gusty easterly winds this morning until the surface pressure gradient relaxes this afternoon. Even then still expecting gusty afternoon winds with the strong daytime heating and a weak system passing through the Great Basin to our north. High pressure aloft will continue to provide the area with dry conditions and well above normal afternoon temperatures today and Thursday. Models were showing a low pressure trough moving through the intermountain west with the tail end passing over southern Arizona. That said...more dry conditions with even stronger afternoon and early evening winds on tap Friday. A Fire Weather Watch will be posted on the morning forecast for much of Southeast Arizona for Friday. Please refer to the fire weather section in this product for more details. Otherwise...the passage of the low pressure trough will result in a slight drop in high temperatures Friday and Saturday. High pressure aloft will regain control of the weather pattern Sunday into early next week for dry conditions and much warmer daytime temperatures. && Aviation...sky clear through this afternoon with few-scattered clouds developing at or around 10k feet by late afternoon early this evening east of ktus. Surface wind generally less than 10 kts early this morning with isolated gusts possible. Winds will increase this afternoon to southwesterly/westerly at 10-15 kts...diminishing to less than 10 kts after sunset. Aviation discussion not updated for taf amendments. && Fire weather...dry conditions with above normal temperatures will prevail into the weekend. Winds will remain in the 10 to 15 kts range through the day today with gusts becoming more and more likely toward the afternoon hours due to strong daytime heating. Wind direction will change from east/southeasterly in the morning hours to south/southwest after 1100 MST this morning and through the evening before calming and becoming terrain driven by 2300 MST tonight. Forecast remains consistent with strong gusty winds and continued dry conditions for Friday...so will be issuing a Fire Weather Watch for Friday with the morning forecast package encompassing Graham...Greenlee...Cochise...Santa Cruz and eastern Pima counties. Meteorological conditions combined with the already active wildfires to the north of the County Warning Area made the decision for a watch very simple. && Twc watches/warnings/advisories... Fire Weather Watch Friday for zones 146 and 148 (graham...Greenlee...Cochise...Santa Cruz and eastern Pima counties) $$ Weather.Gov/Tucson
