Back to some real-time weather. This morning a strong 500 mb short-wave trough is approaching central and northern Arizona (see the current NAM 500 mb forecast for 5 pm MST this afternoon - top). Strong low-level cool advection will be associated with the surface cold front that crosses Arizona during the day today (see the current NAM 850 mb forecast in lower panel). Front is coming off the Pacific fairly strong (currently 16C temperature gardient between Tucson and San Diego at 850 mb), but over the Southwest it will be fighting intense solar insolation. Looks like another dry, windy and dusty weather system - par for the course this time of year!------------------------------------------------------
More on the summer outlook later today.
