[html]MD 1520 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHERN ARIZONA
Mesoscale Discussion 1520
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0711 PM CDT Tue Jul 19 2022
Areas affected...southern Arizona
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 200011Z - 200215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible with a
high-based cluster of storms moving westward. Organization is
expected to be minimal and a weather watch is unlikely.
DISCUSSION...Over the last 60 min,several clusters of high-based
thunderstorms have shown modest organization as surface cold pools
have merged and propagated west/southwestward this evening. Driven
by strong heating, seasonably high monsoon moisture, and enhanced
easterly flow beneath the large Four Corners ridge, continued
westward propagation is expected through this evening. Likely rooted
near 3 km from area averaged model soundings, dry low-level inverted
V structures beneath these storms will continue to support strong
downdrafts/cold pools capable of isolated damaging wind gusts.
Modest vertical shear (generally less than 25kt) suggests
organization potential is limited to cold pool forcing and along the
southern border where flow is strongest. As such, the risk for
damaging wind gusts should remain relatively isolated and a weather
watch is not expected.
