Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 170210Z - 170800Z SUMMARY...Additional broader convective development expected as outflows intersect seeking out remaining unstable air across the Mogollon Rim Region. Sub-hourly to hourly totals of 1.5-2" and widely scattered flash flooding remain possible. DISCUSSION...Inintial scattered thunderstorms along the southern San Francisco Plateau have developed numerous outflow boundaries that continue to press southwest into the the remaining pool of MLCAPEs across west-central AZ into Yavapai and northern LaPaz and Maricopa county. CAPE of 500-1000 J/kg remains within favorably intersecting southern inflow and into the deeper gradient (as cloud bases drop coming over the Rim), increased moisture flux convergence should increase into the bases of the clouds and across new slab ascent along/ahead of the convergent outflow boundaries. Aloft, strong anticyclonic outflow across the northwestern edge of the larger scale ridge into a 35-40kt 3H speed max across the Four Corners, supports solid evactuation to support updraft stregth, yet weaker 700-500mb flow allows for updrafts cells to back-shear and remain relatively stationary for downdrafts to support 1.5-2" focused totals in 30-60 minutes. Given hard/rocky ground cover most becomes runoff and as the updrafts broaden with potential slab ascent, could intersect adjoining arrayos and dry washes for continued widely scattered incidents of flash flooding possible until the pool of instability is fully exhausted in the next few hours.=20 Gallina ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov__;!!= DZ3fjg!6qnXwPAMxwiYKVLlf_FCyYkQ_3Xnf32CSpgCWYtHhYfv7qfsSJFj_jk7KsTq8sPB1Xbk= DPzQ9uPdu3MfXyX4JCA1xIs$ for graphic product...
