Issued Zones:  West/Southwest Arizona … All of Maricopa and Pinal County .. .Globe …

Site:  Arizona Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective now for the rest of today …

Date:  3/13/20 at 8:35am local

Forecast: A closed upper level low over Southern California has opened to an open-wave trough and this will slide eastward through today.

The upper divergent section will move over the Severe Thunderstorm Watch area, which will produce the lifting needed for thunderstorms to form.  Some indications of gusty winds or larger hail will be possible.. as well as funnel clouds.  The center of this is directly over Maricopa County, which sees to target Phoenix head on once the dynamics mix in together …  This will end by evening …

As you know, just as Southern California Weather Force has a service for members with micro-climate alerts, Arizona Weather Force does as well and we do have some people already signed up getting those so it is seeming like it is helping.  The service helps businesses and persons, especially with ranches.  Click Here to read about it and even join.
