Increasing Thunderstorms National Weather Service - Tucson, AZ Issued: 5:30am Tuesday, July 30, 2019 Next Update: None planned unless conditions change KEY POINTS... ● Flash Flood Watch is in effect for a large part of the area (please see graphic). ● Showers and thunderstorms likely this afternoon well into the evening. ● Due to abundant moisture, stronger storms will be capable of producing very heavy rainfall in a short period of time. ● Potential for gusty winds also exists with local blowing dust west of Tucson. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS BRIEFING The primary change is the addition of a Flash Flood Watch from 2 pm this afternoon until 1 am late tonight. CONFIDENCE AND DETAILS Location 1 - Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz Counties and the Tohono O’odham Nation Details: Moderate Confidence Clouds are expected to dissipate this morning with thunderstorms redeveloping this afternoon. Due to the abundant moisture and instability available, any strong thunderstorms will be capable of producing heavy amounts of rain in a short period of time. This is especially the case with storms slowed by terrain or colliding outflow boundaries, or storms occurring over areas that recently received heavy rains. Rainfall of this intensity could result in rapid, fast rising flows in area washes and/or across low water crossings. Strong outflow winds are also possible with the strongest storms which may lead to local blowing dust issues west of Tucson where rain has not recently occurred. Heavy rainfall producing thunderstorms will likely continue well into the evening hours which unfortunately makes seeing water running across low water crossings more difficult. Location 2 - Cochise, Graham and Greenlee Cruz Counties Details: Moderate Confidence Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop again today and they will continue into the evening hours. The primary threats with these storms will be strong gusty outflow winds and local areas of heavy rain, especially western Cochise county where a Flash Flood Watch is in effect. Most of this area is outside of the Flash Flood Watch area because of the lower amount of moisture the storms have available to work with. That said, it is possible for an isolated storm to produce enough rain to cause flooding problems, so it can’t be entirely ruled out.

Increasing Thunderstorms National Weather Service - Tucson, AZ Issued: 2:30pm Monday, July 29, 2019 Next Update: None planned unless conditions change KEY POINTS... ● Thunderstorm chances increase today, continuing through Wednesday across much of southeast Arizona. ● Showers and thunderstorms likely remain active overnight tonight and Tuesday night. ● Due to abundant moisture, the stronger storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall in a short period of time. ● Potential for gusty winds and blowing dust also exists. ● High temperatures decrease to near or below normal Tuesday through Thursday. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS BRIEFING We are still expecting an active three days of weather and minimal changes were made to the previous briefing. The primary change was to stress the likelihood of overnight showers and thunderstorms. CONFIDENCE AND DETAILS Location 1 - Pima, Pinal Counties and the Tohono O’odham Nation Details: Moderate Confidence Widespread thunderstorms develop today, continuing through Wednesday. Although the afternoon and evening time frame will experience the majority of thunderstorm activity, plentiful moisture allows precipitation chances to remain into the overnight hours. Blowing dust will be possible around the stronger storms, especially up the I-10 corridor and across central/western Pima County. While storms should move at a good pace relative to this time of year, precipitation amounts may still exceed 1” in isolated downpours of heavy rainfall. The main forecast challenge relates to the possibility of thick morning cloud cover on Tuesday and Wednesday. Without sufficient daytime heating, thunderstorms will generally struggle to organize. Location 2 - Cochise, Graham, Greenlee and Santa Cruz Counties Details: Moderate Confidence Widespread thunderstorms develop today, continuing through Wednesday. Although the afternoon and evening time frame will experience the majority of thunderstorm activity, plentiful moisture allows precipitation chances to remain into the overnight hours. While storms should move at a good pace relative to this time of year, precipitation amounts may still exceed 1” in isolated downpours of heavy rainfall. The main forecast challenge relates to the possibility of thick morning cloud cover on Tuesday and Wednesday. Without sufficient daytime heating, thunderstorms will generally struggle to organize.

CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS BRIEFING First Briefing. CONFIDENCE AND DETAILS Location 1 - Pima, Pinal Counties and the Tohono O’odham Nation Details: Moderate Confidence Widespread thunderstorms develop Monday, continuing through Wednesday.

Blowing dust will be possible around the stronger storms, and the most favorable conditions exist on Monday. While storms should move at a good pace relative to this time of year, precipitation amounts may still exceed 1” in isolated downpours of heavy rainfall.

Widespread Thunderstorms to Start the Week National Weather Service - Tucson, AZ Issued: 1:00 pm, July 23, 2019 Next Update: None Scheduled KEY POINTS... ● High probability of thunderstorm activity across much of south east/south central Arizona this afternoon and evening. ● Storms will be capable of local heavy rains and strong winds. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS BRIEFING A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Pima, Santa Cruz, southeast Pinal and far western Cochise Counties this afternoon through this evening. CONFIDENCE AND DETAILS Pima, Santa Cruz, SE Pinal and far western Cochise Counties Details: Moderate Confidence Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop later this afternoon and continue into this evening. The storms will be fairly slow movers and will have abundant atmospheric moisture to tap into which is expected to result in local heavy rainfall and possibly flash flooding. The threat will be enhanced if one of these storms impacts areas that received heavy rainfall Sunday and/or Monday. The storms are expected to continue well into the evening hours. Graham, Greenlee and eastern/central Cochise Counties Details: Moderate Confidence Showers and thunderstorms are expected to be less numerous in this area and it was relatively spared widespread heavy rains the previous two days. In addition to that, the atmosphere in this region is a little drier which will make the storms less efficient at producing heavy rainfall. SUMMARY Abundant moisture and instability will bring about showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon into the evening hours. Some of the stronger storms will produce heavy rains that could lead to local flash flooding. The threat is even higher in locations that received heavy rain the last couple of days, and those generally fall within the watch area.
