COCHISE TO SANTA CRUZ IN E PIMA MAY REPRESENT A LATE START MCS FOR
THIS EVENING...BUT NOT LIKE LAST EVENING.  AREA IN PW AND SFC MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE GRADIENT...BUT UPPER LEVELM WINDS HIGHLY DIFFLUENT AND
TERRIAN AND ALREADY ESTABLISHED MOISTURE FEEDING THESE STORMS TO RAIN
RATES OF 1.0" PER 15-30 MINUTES...ESPECIALLY OVERSHOOT -72C CLOUD TOP
NEAR THE SANTA CRUZ TO PIMA COUNTY BORDER AREA.  OTHER ORGANIZED AREA
FROM LINCOLN COUNTY INTO IRON AND BEAVER PRESENTS FF CONCERNS NEXT
1-2HRS WITH 0.5"-1.0" RATES WITH COOLING TOPS AND POSSIBLE TRAINING OR
SLOW MOVING CELLS IN A 20-40 MINUTE TIME PERIOD.
THIRD AREA CENTERED IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TO EXT NE KERN COUNTY AND
MOVING BUT HIGH MOISTURE CAN ALLOW THESE TO GIVE A QUICK 0.5"-1.0" IN A 30
