David Blanchard - of NWS Office in Flagstaff - has left a new comment on your post "Miscellany - Sunday July 14, 2013":
"...A very similar evolution of the large-scale pattern occurred back in the second week of August 2003 - that ended with a widespread outbreak of strong storms across most of Arizona..."
In fact, there were numerous supercells -- some of which produced funnel clouds and tornadoes across northern Arizona. I documented this system and it appeared in Weather and Forecasting in 2011.

Edited to add: This is a very interesting paper. Below are two figures from it.
