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.

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.
