Start Of Astronomical Summer Today


Had a fall early am on Fathers' Day and have been out-of-action this week.

Today is the summer solstice and start of astronomical summer, but day-to-day continues dry with high temperatures around 100 F.

The current dewpoint tracker from NWS (above) shows nasty drying trend. The plot below of detected CG flashes over Mexico (from Atmo and Vaisala) ends at 12 UTC this morning, and shows most thunderstorm activity remaining along and east of Continental Divide.

The 500 mb pattern continues troughy in West, but models forecast patterns by end of month that are looking more monsoonal.
