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.

Interesting Water Vapor Image
Above is a water vapor satellite image from 1000 UTC 27 August 2011. Two weather features dominate the continent this early morning - Hurricane Irene brushing the coast of North Carolina and a very large MCS over northwestern Mexico. The Guaymas morning sounding yesterday was extremely unstable with CAPE values of 4000 to 5000 J/kg. Very dry upper-tropospheric air covers the continent between these two features.
