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.

TUS Breaks 100F On Earth Day
Tucson's afternoon high hit 101F today - see surface observations above. This is the second earliest date on record for a high temperature of 100F or more at Tucson. Another diurnal swing of 50F here at the house.
Another issue - note the strange visibilities that are popping into the observations once in awhile. Three very low visibilities are reported above, with the 2 pm visibility reported as less than a quarter of a mile in haze. This has been happening during the afternoon on a number of days during the past week week or so. Either the ASOS system is out-of-whack, or construction or something similar is generating clouds of dust once in awhile that are blowing across the ASOS sensors.
