Super Typhoon Songda (aka 04W) has skirted by the Phillipines, passing off to the northeast of Manila. This storm will morph into a strong extratopical cyclone in the north Pacific by mid-week next week, and may play a role in the ridge building forecast over Alaska and the Arctic - perhaps a bit of a wild card wrt the long-range, global forecast models.

Back here in Tucson, the official high hit 99F yesterday (Thursday May 26th). I have been hoping to make it until June before having to switch the heating systems over to cooling mode for the summer. However, the adobe, and its thermal inertia, may force me into action today or tomorrow. The very nice, cool mornings this week have helped me delay the switch - lows here at house have been in the upper-40s several mornings and yesterday's low was 50F - thus a 49F, or so, diurnal swing.
