Areas affected...Southern Arizona

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 559...

Valid 242231Z - 250000Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 559
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across WW 559, primarily for
severe wind gusts from thunderstorm outflow.

DISCUSSION...The severe thunderstorm threat continues for WW 559
across southern Arizona, where daytime heating has resulted in
surface temperatures rising into the 110s F. With surface dewpoints
in the lower-to-mid 60s F, MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg across
southwest portions of the watch area will continue to support
thunderstorm development in the short term. Proximity sounding
profiles show deeply mixed boundary layers with large saturation
deficits, and very-weak to weak deep layer shear, supporting the
threat for severe wind gusts from thunderstorm outflow.

The greatest short-term threat for severe wind gusts is currently
confined to southern portions of the watch, where buoyancy is
maximized and thunderstorms are ongoing. This threat will continue
as storms move southwest towards the Mexican border, but should
diminish after dark.
