   Areas affected...portions of central Arizona

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 252141Z - 252345Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Multiple severe gusts may occur with embedded downbursts
   this afternoon and evening. A couple of gusts could exceed 75 mph.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of multicells and pulse-cellular storms have
   gradually congealed into a loosely organized MCS, which is sagging
   south-southwestward off of the higher terrain. As the MCS and its
   cold pool propagates toward the lower terrain, it will overspread a
   hot and deeply mixed boundary layer. Surface temperatures over 110
   F, amid 50s F dewpoints, yields 1500-2000 J/kg DCAPE amid 50-60 F
   surface T/Td spreads, suggesting that ample evaporative cooling
   potential exists for embedded downbursts to produce potential
   several severe gusts. Given the magnitude of evaporative cooling
   potential present, 75+ mph gusts may occur. One or more haboobs may
   develop with this storm cluster and produce low-visibility
   conditions as well.
