Bob,
The model resolution appears to be too coarse to resolve the Rillito basin thus low temperatures are not well forecast in that area.
Another very interesting feature that the model predicts, correctly, is the 'wind shadow' caused by mountains with the Catalina's many times providing a great example of this. Here are some links to some images using Google Earth to visualize WRF output. 19Z today:

The links to the GE overlays are now listed on the WRF page at the atmo web site.
