FORECAST:  An inside slider trough will move through the region on your Sunday.  This will put a coating of snow on the Mogollon Rim (not much at all) and also hit and miss showers in Phoenix’s forecast area and Tucson eastward, especially across Cochise County.  That is all that can be said about the precipitation factor as this is more of a high wind producer for some of you.

First I will go ahead and say this will rely heavily on whether the winds surface off a mountain or through a mountain pass out of the north.  If the mountains are too far from you in the northerly direction you will not see much wind.  This is why the AZWF wind model clearly shows most of Phoenix, Pinal County, and Tucson under the level 3 wind advisory criteria.  It literally is a big ‘hole’ of just some gusts but not strong enough for an advisory period on your Monday.

As the storm system move into New Mexico on Monday morning after 1am, a surface ridge will develop over Southeastern Idaho and the north to south surface pressure gradients will skyrocket and this is what will start the wind event.  You will wake up to very gusty conditions in the watch areas.  If you are in the Prescott areas you are in the level 5 High Wind Warning criteria.  If you are in Payson you are even worse at the second to the highest criteria of my scale … at a Level 7…  which means Trees are broken or uprooted, building damage is considerable. – High Profile Vehicle Roll-Over CERTAIN…
