Arizona Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective for July 28, 2024

Zones Issued For: Eastern half of Pima County, including Tucson’s zone – Santa Cruz County – Cochise County – Southern half of Pinal County – Graham and Greenlee County.

Discussion: A ridge of high pressure is being pushed into New Mexico and Texas today due to the trough of low pressure affecting the West Coast. As this happens, flow around the western periphery will bring upper dynamics through the watch zone. Thunderstorms are expected to rapidly develop in this broad upper divergent zone. Storms today will be capable of large hail, damaging winds, flooding, and isolated tornadoes.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch here at AZWF is issued 0-12 hours before the event is expected.

As always, we take it one day at a time with these events.

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist with over 25 years' experience for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.

NOTE: Alerts are posted on here, be it a tornado watch, etc, and these alerts are issued from this office and nowhere else. At times, which is often, you will see an alert forecast posted on here that you do not see elsewhere.
