Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ
224 AM MST Tue Jul 27 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms are expected through Tuesday with near average
temperatures. Monsoonal moisture increases once again by
Wednesday resulting in widespread storm coverage across northern 
Arizona into the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorm activity will continue this
afternoon across higher terrain. Due to the saturated nature of
the soils, flash flooding will continue to be a concern for areas
where these storms set up. Monsoon moisture looks to increase 
Wednesday with scattered storms initiating over higher terrain 
before moving into lower elevations. Thursday through the weekend 
storms look to become more widespread as moisture continues to 
increase. Hazards associated with this include flash flooding, 
similar to what was seen last week, and the potential for some 
severe storms. To start the work week, current thinking is a 
return to the more typical monsoonal pattern, with storms once 
again firing over the higher elevations before moving into lowland
areas.

&&

.AVIATION...For the 12Z package...Mainly VFR conditions expected 
through the TAF period. Showers and thunderstorms possible after 18Z 
Tue, mainly in the high terrain. Brief periods of MVFR conditions 
will be possible along with gusty and erratic winds in and around 
thunderstorms. Winds will otherwise be light. Aviation discussion 
not updated for TAF amendments.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Isolated to scattered afternoon and evening 
thunderstorms are expected through Tuesday. Moisture increases 
Wednesday with the return of widespread thunderstorms. Light winds 
are expected outside of any gusty and erratic outflows from storms.

Thursday through Saturday...Expect continued widespread afternoon 
thunderstorm chances. 

&&

.FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
