The high temperature reached 108F at TUS yesterday afternoon, Wednesday June 22nd. This was the 16th day of 100F or higher temperatures at TUS in May and June, and the 14th such day of June. Here at the house, early morning temperatures during June have been quite pleasant, with early month lows in mid to upper 50s and recent lows in the mid 60s. Morning lows during June here have been generally 10 to 12F lower than those at TUS.
Skies at sunrise were a bit dirty this morning, with dust and haze hanging in the ar. The skies far to the northeast were smokey, with an orange to brownish orange hue as the sun rose.
The early run of the U of A, high-resolution version of the WRF model today forecasts weak pulses of increased PW (but values staying around an inch or less) pushing north from the GoC. Above graphic shows surface winds and PW forecast for noon today.
The WRF model forecast keeps the heat on across southern Arizona through the weekend. The graphic above shows the model forecasted 2-m temperatures at 3 pm on Saturday afternoon, the 25th of June. Ugh!
