.DISCUSSION...Scattered showers and thunderstorms
developed along and north of the Mogollon Rim today. We have had
reports of minor street flooding, pea sized hail, and frequent
lightning. This activity is expected to diminish this evening.

A trough of low pressure off the West Coast will move into the
Great Basin on Monday. This will start a dry westerly flow across
Arizona for much of the work week. Storms chances will generally be
south of a Payson-Window Rock line on Monday. On Tuesday, there will
be just a slight chance for storms over the White Mountains.

High temperatures will also be decreasing to near average by late
in the week.

.AVIATION...For the 00z package...High-based -TSRA are forecast to
decrease in coverage through 03-04z before dissipating almost
entirely. Until then...expect the greatest coverage near and NE of a
line from Seligman-Prescott-Payson-Whiteriver. Wind gusts to 35-40kt
possible near storms. Smoke from area wildfires may create localized
MVFR conditions overnight. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF
amendments.
