This, with instability; will create numerous thunderstorms in the zones listed above.
The thunderstorms may be severe at times and contain wind gusts of 40-60 mph as they move east-southeastward through the watch area.
If you are heading to Phoenix you may want to check the thunderstorm model I updated in the member section because it is showing an area of tornado dynamics in the metro.
