Windy Morning



Wispy clouds over the Catalinas this morning at 7:15 am MST. 

It's a windy morning - airport has reported gusts as high as 32 mph from the east this morning.

The 12 UTC WRF-RR forecasts for steady wind speeds at 8:00 am this morning (above), and for 8:30 pm below. Winds diminish later this morning, but then there is a threat for gusty outflows from evening storms to our southeast.


The QPF plumes from the 06 UTC GEFS runs (above) indicate a slight chance for very light showers at the airport this evening. The forecast for precipitation (from the 12 UTC WRF-RR) through 6:am tomorrow morning is similar. The WRF forecast for CG activity (at bottom) indicates that there will be isolated thunderstorms in eastern Pima County at 1:30 pm today.  Note that strong east winds are hostile for storms in metro area, so they will need to weaken considerable during next couple of hours.
