MOUNTAINS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...PRETTY AMAZING TO SEE A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
LIVE THROUGH THE MORNING DIURNAL DOWN PERIOD...SO EXPECTING THIS FEATURE
TO CONTINUE NORTH/NW AFFECTING N YAVAPAI THRU
S AND W COCONINO INTO MOHAVE COUNTY AND THRU CLARK...E SAN BERNARDINO INTO
INYO COUNTY NEXT FEW HRS. AREA MOVING QUICKLY ENOUGH SO THAT MAX RAIN
RATES WILL STAY BELOW 2.5" PER HR MOUNTAINS AREAS...BUT LOW AREAS COULD
GET 1-1.5" PER 30-45 MINUTES RESULTING IN FF CONDITIONS.  COLDEST TOPS
AND LUMPIEST LOOKING CLOUDS WOULD TAKE THESE TYPES OF AMOUNTS CENTERED
IN NW AZ/S NV NORTH INTO SW UTAH AND FURTHER INTO S NV OF LINCOLN/NYE
AND INTO S INYO COUNTY NEXT FEW HRS.
CLOUD LINES TRYING TO ORGANIZE MOUNTAINS OF E SAN DIEGO COUNTY NORTH INTO
W/SW SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AND WILL SEE IF MOISTURE AND LIFT ORGANIZE
THIS AREA FURTHER FOR A QUICK FF THREAT BY 22Z.
ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT AWAY FROM THE VORT AREAS ON WESTERN AND NW...N AND
EVEN NE QUAD AREA THAT ARE GETTING UNSTABLE FROM HEATING AND MOISTURE
JUST ENOUGH TO ALLOW ENOUGH RAINFALL IN A SHORT TIME TO CAUSE HIGHLY
LOCALIZED PROBLEMS...WILL BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON S SIERRAS TO
E CENTRAL NV...E CENTRAL TO S CENTRAL UT INCLUDING SW UT FOR THIS THRU
THE EVENING HRS.    WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
