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.

Update - This Morning's WRF-GFS - Valentine's Day
First - a shot of stacked lenticular clouds (above) that developed over the Catalinas around 5 pm MST yesterday afternoon.
Atmo's early run of the WRF-GFS is slower today on bringing the current weather system through eastern Pima County. The above forecast is of total precipitation through 6 pm this MST this evening. It is similar to yesterday's, although amounts across the north metro area are up a bit - still generally a light precipitation event, except in the mountains.
The composite radar forecast (above) indicates the primary shower band moving through the metro area around 3 pm (behind the front), and the forecast surface plot valid at 1 pm MST (below) indicates a more amorphous frontal passage during the lunch hour. Will now observe the details of what transpires today.
