Low temperature here at house was 18F this morning - five straight days with lows from 14 to 20F. The above is a photo of some of the cactus damage on our circle. The large prickly pears have been hit pretty hard. Below is photo from Ron Holle of ice in a bucket out in his back yard (in Oro Valley) yesterday afternoon. Bucket was mostly in the shade and had a layer of ice more than an inch thick. My eyes may be playing tricks on me, but it looks like an endangered, rare species of fish is frozen solid in that chunk of ice.
The WRF-GFS forecast from 5 am MST this morning does not predict winds as strong from the east as it did yesterday. The forecast (above - valid at 7 am tomorrow morning) continues to warm the low temperature, and it looks like another morning that will have temperatures all over the place - depending upon the local-scale winds. Mornings such as forecast for Thursday (above) and Friday (not shown) sometimes have very large differences in the minimum temperature here versus the airport.
