WRF-GFS Spot-On Today



As per post this morning - the Univ. of Arizona runs of the WRF-GFS model forecast an absolutely down day today with no thunderstorms across southern Arizona. Models have verified spot-on this afternoon. Above two images are: (top) visible image at 4 pm MST showing no deep convection  over southern Arizona and Sonora - making this the most suppressed afternoon I can remember in weeks, and (bottom) southern Arizona at 5 pm MST.


The NWS has started posting a feature called today's weather story up at the top of their web page - probably at the behest of high-level D.C. dictators. Above is today's weather story, still live and online at 6:30 pm this evening. Obviously a tale of fiction today. Forecast was changed early this afternoon - so, my pitch would be that the bad story should have vanished also.
