First Day Of 100 + Temperature Near


View of Catalinas at 7:26 am this morning - mostly clear skies with some middle cloud drifting over the highest part of the mountains.

The airport has not yet recorded a high temperature of 100 F or higher this year. However, the current morning forecast from NWS for the airport (below) indicates 100 F tomorrow (as well as higher temperatures rest of week). This happens as 500 mb heights slowly increase over the Southwest. 

Regardless of exact date, this will be the latest for first 100 F day since at least 1982.



On the Eastern Pacific scale, the CG flash activity has inched northward - above is 12- hour CG flashes for period ending at 12 UTC this morning. Thunderstorms west of the Continental Divide occurred almost north to Cabo Corrientes.

The 500 mb forecast below is valid at 06 UTC on Tuesday the 11th - note that mid-level easterlies are also inching northward toward the southern end of the GoC.

At bottom is reference map - Cabo Corrientes is shaded light green at the lower right of the map.
