VALID 112125Z - 112330Z

SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING. A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS LIKELY.
DISCUSSION...VISIBLE SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY INDICATE DEEPENING
CUMULUS AND EARLY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE GILA AND WHITE
MOUNTAINS WITHIN THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER HIGH LOCATED

ARIZONA IS HOT AND SOMEWHAT MOIST WITH STEEP LOW/MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES YIELDING MLCAPE OF 1000-1500 J/KG. LATEST SHORT-TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE INDICATES THE DEVELOPING STORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE

SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL AZ WITHIN AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT.
THE CURRENT KEMX VWP IS SAMPLING A BELT OF ENHANCED EASTERLY WINDS
IN THE 4-6 KM AGL LAYER, WHICH, COMBINED WITH THE STEEP LOW-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES, WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR COLD POOL ORGANIZATION
AND A RELATED RISK FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS.
