A BLOG ABOUT SOUTHWESTERN WEATHER, Welcome to the MadWeather Blog! We have two basic rules for this blog:
WEATHER FORECASTING & OBSERVING, AND OTHER RELATED TOPICS
(1) Debate and discussion should be civil.
(2) Because public discussion, regardless of the topic,
is not very effective if we don't know who is talking to whom,
MadWeather does not accept anonymous posts.

First Eastern Pacific TS of The Season?
The NHC has declared that there is a high probability of a TD or TS forming in the eastern Pacific during the next couple of days (see their outlook map above). It appears that a fairly robust low is already spinning away in this area, if the visible loop is examined. The circulation appears to be centered near 11.0 degrees N and 97.5 degrees W. So we may be well on our way to the first tropical storm of the season.
-------------------------------------------------------
I noted that at 2 pm this afternoon (Sunday, 5 June) Hermosilla, Mexico, reported 111F with a dewpoint of 30F. Yesterday's high here in Tucson was 103F at the airport - hottest day of the season so far.
-------------------------------------------------------
The global forecast models persist in keeping a 500 mb trough along, or just inland from, the west coast through 240 hours, i.e., through the middle of the month.
