Above photo is of a cottonwood just turning gold at Santa Rita Abbey, about 5 miles northwest of Sonoita. There was fairly heavy frost on the car out there yesterday morning (Saturday, October 13th). The lows here at the house were 42F both Saturday and again this morning. I noticed a number of temperatures in the 30s this weekend across the RAWS stations in southeast Arizona. We're now going into the time of year when I try to make it as long as possible before I switch over to the heating system.
Tropical Storm Paul, see above and below, is located well south of 20 degrees north this morning. The associated cloud shield is fairly large. The NHC anticipates that Paul will become a hurricane and will start moving northward in a day or two. So, Paul could be in our future. However, the NHC forecasts for tropical storms that began in very weak steering flow have not verified well this season - so I'll hold off showing the NHC forecast tracks for now.
