DISCUSSION...A loosely organized cluster of thunderstorms is tracking northwestward across parts of south-central AZ -- southeast of the Phoenix metro. Meanwhile, an outflow boundary is moving southward toward this cluster. The ongoing cluster of storms and potential outflow collision will promote a locally favorable corridor for severe wind gusts -- given temperatures in the 100-105F range and very steep low-level lapse rates. ..Weinman/Thompson.. 08/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
