Several other things of interest today. Cold front dropping down the Front Range has brought very strong pressure rises to eastern New Mexico. The 1730 UTC surface plot above shows pressure increase from Tucson to southeast New Mexico of over 10 mb. The question is whether this back-door front will kick in a period of gusty surface winds here in Tucson. The plot shows gusty winds have reached into southeast Arizona at this time.
Heavy snow storm hitting the upper-Midwest and currently impacting Chicago and Milwaukee. This link is to a lakefront web cam in Milwaukee - http://www.lakefrontcam.com/
This is the storm that will move to the mid-Atlantic coast tomorrow (above is surface and thickness forecast for noon Wednesday from this morning's NAM). It appears the 7 day ECMWF forecast mentioned in an earlier post was spot on, especially compared to the busted GFS forecast for day 7. The big question for D.C. is whether or not the Government will shut down based on the forecast for tomorrow, or wait and see what happens. Of course it would be hard to know if Congress were shut down.
