Key Messages
- A strong low pressure system will support additional thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe, through this afternoon and focused more north and east of the Phoenix area.
- Thunderstorms will also be capable of producing moderate to heavy rainfall which may result in areas of flash flooding across south-central Arizona with a focus over higher terrain areas.
- Drier air will quickly move in tonight into Friday leading to more benign weather conditions into the weekend and through at least early next week.
- Below normal temperatures are forecast through the weekend before warming back into the normal range early next week.
Aviation
Updated at 0550Z.
South Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, and KDVT: The main aviation concern through Thursday morning will be the potential for another round of VCTS/TS which could impact the metro terminals, result in gusty winds, brief heavy rainfall, lightning, and hail. Currently there is a lull in thunderstorm activity across southcentral AZ, however storm chances will ramp up again after midnight. The most likely period of time to see thunderstorms will be between 10Z-16Z Thursday morning. Winds will continue out of the east through much of the overnight period. Once thunderstorms develop, outflow will result in a NW shift followed by a westerly shift once storms clear east of the terminals late Thursday morning. CIGs are expected to remain around 5-7K ft AGL overnight, however there could be a period of CIGs as low as 3-5K as showers progress through the metro area.
Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: No major aviation weather concerns are anticipated through the forecast period. Winds will favor a southerly to southwesterly component at KBLH and westerly at KIPL. Gusts up to 25 kts will become common at both terminals early Thursday afternoon. FEW to SCT clouds, mostly aoa 7 kft, will prevail.
Fire Weather
Strong to severe thunderstorms with heavy rainfall will remain possible over eastern districts through this afternoon before rapid drying spreads through the area this evening and tonight. The heaviest rainfall will be focused more across higher terrain areas north and east of Phoenix. MinRHs today will again be in a 30-60% range before dropping more into a 25-40% range for Friday and Saturday as cooler air settles into the region. Gusty west winds upwards of 25-30 mph will be possible across the western districts through this evening with winds becoming light starting tonight. Overall quiet weather conditions are forecast for this weekend into next week with fairly stable humidities and temperatures rebounding back into the normal range early next week.
