Sunrise Surprise

The latest visible satellite image (top) and webcam view south from Kitt Peak (bottom) show that low clouds are covering the sky here in Tucson this morning, although it was clear at times during the night. The clear skies during night led to a very cold morning here at house with low of 18F. Second coldest morning of the Fall, beat only by the 16F reading on the morning of November 30^th. The storm precipitation at house was 0.42” at 7 am yesterday morning, followed by 0.21” coming by noon Thursday – total for the storm 0.63”. So the rainfall for the Fall probably ends up as: October 0.90”; November Trace; and December 1.17” for total of  2.07”, which isn’t bad for a strong la nina Fall.
