Area Forecast Discussion

436 PM MST Mon Jun 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Daily chances for afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms will continue through Wednesday or Thursday. Activity
will slowly decrease and become more focused over eastern Arizona by
the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Another active day is ongoing, most storms have been
fleeting and run out as the outflow passes. The most active area is
currently in northern Gila County, but a well-organized outflow may
generate new activity in eastern and central Yavapai County before
the day is done.

Primary threats remain heavy rain and small hail, lack of shear and
notable storm motion should limit larger hail potential.

Similar conditions persist Tuesday and into Wednesday. before the
mid-levels dry toward the end of the week. This will likely limit
storms to our eastern zones Thursday through Saturday. This will be
short-lived, moisture will creep back westward late in the weekend
and early next week, as the ridge quickly reestablishes a favorable
position.
