   Mesoscale Discussion 1578

   1102 PM CDT Mon Jul 22 2019

   Areas affected...portions of southern AZ

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 539...

   Valid 230402Z - 230530Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 539
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Additional strong to severe gusts are possible across
   western portions of WW 539 over the next 1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Most recent measured surface gusts in the watch area
   have ranged from 38 to 44 kt. There has been some increase in in
   thunderstorm intensity near Phoenix behind a westward-surging
   outflow boundary. Some gusty winds will remain possible as steep
   low-level lapse rates remain downstream of ongoing convection.
   Another outflow boundary was noted surging southward from Yavapai
   County into northern Maricopa County.  These two boundaries could
   lead to additional convection as they collide and further strong to
   severe winds could result and spread across central and western
   portions of Maricopa County over the next hour or two. Where storms
   and outflow have already occurred across eastern portions of the
   watch, additional severe gusts are not expected.
