Clear And Very Cool Morning Here


Bright, clear skies above, a bit before sunrise this morning. This is a real contrast to yesterday afternoon (below) when skies were mostly cloudy with virga and some sprinkles. Midday sprinkles gave us a trace here, as per most of metro area. Temperatures in 50s, with winds of 20 to 30 mph made it, for here, a very raw day.

Low temperature this morning here at house reached 31F, making this the first below freezing morning since February 7th. But, we can now look forward to a serious warm up for the next seven or so days, with high temperatures up in the 80s. Second below is from 00 UTC WRF-GFS and is forecast of precipitation on 5.4 km grid through 5:00 pm MST on April 4rth.




Pre-sunrise images from the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory - west of Summerhaven at an altitude a bit above 9,000 ft MSL. I particularly like the "unwrapped" version below.
