Second Cold Morning Across Southwest


Second morning of cold temperatures across the Southwest. Plot above is from observations between 6 and and 7 am this morning (Sunday 13 January). Here at the house the low was 17F (compared to 20F yesterday). The airport and DM both had lows of 24F. Checking around southeast Arizona I found a number of lows in the teens and colder. Coldest I found was -11F at the Columbine RAWS on Mt. Graham. The Rincon RAWS had a low of 6F, and the RAWS on Mt. Lemmon had 9F, while Empire and Rucker had lows of 10F.
