MESO: Mesoscale Discussion 1773

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1773
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0542 PM CDT THU AUG 16 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...SRN AZ

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 162242Z - 162345Z

THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS INTO THE VALLEY FLOORS.

RADAR TRENDS INDICATE STORMS MAY BE GETTING A BIT MORE CONSOLIDATED
AS THEY PROPAGATE WWD OUT OF THE MTNS OF SERN AZ. MODIFIED 19Z
PHOENIX SOUNDING SHOWS A TYPICAL VERY DEEP MIXED LAYER WITH ABOUT
1500 J/KG MLCAPE AND SUBSTANTIAL DCAPE. WINDS ALOFT ARE QUITE
WEAK...HOWEVER...THEY ARE ELY AND THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW A
WWD PROPAGATION INTO THE VALLEYS. GIVEN NO CONVECTIVE
INHIBITION...EXPECTED STORMS TO PERSIST INTO THE LOWLANDS FOR A
WHILE. LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT SHEAR SUGGESTS LITTLE IF ANY
ORGANIZATION...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE WIND GUSTS ARE
LIKELY.
