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.

Birding At Dawn
Not much weather for western third of country these days. High yesterday at TUS was 97F - low this morning at the house was 56F - so big diurnal ranges, with the low humidity and clear skies. When I walked at dawn this morning I saw a big Horned Owl down in the park next to the Rillito. Couldn't help but wonder if the pair who nested there last spring have returned - one of the pair and one of two nestlings above. There were also a number of Cooper hawks out hunting through the tree-tops this morning - below (not a local photo).
Long-range forecast models keep the Eastern Pacific active, so maybe there's a tropical storm in our future that will do more than Kristy did.
