Art Douglas reports, from near the mouth of Ramsey Canyon,: It's 3:45AM and the wind is howling like crazy at my house.........here is the wind profiler.
He sent along a data display from the Ft. Huachuca wind profiler, and I've snipped out a portion of the time series that runs from around 00 UTC yesterday to around 10 UTC this morning (3 am MST). Note that by around 04 UTC (9 pm MST) a layer of strong winds extends from near mountain-top level upward for about a 100 mb. During the night this layer descends steadily and reaches the surface after midnight. This is the second wind event this year that appears to have been influenced by a mountain-wave downwind of the crest of the Huachuca Mountains.
Edited to add: observations from a weather station near Art indicate a number of gusts before noon today of 40 to 65 mph.
