Miscellany March 21, 2013


For the third straight morning skies have been dreary here in Tucson, with thick, high overcast and visibly dirty air. This morning there has even been some very high-level virga passing by - view above is from 8 am.

Re previous post - the new NAM 48-hour forecast this morning has a markedly different forecast for Saturday morning over Tennessee. Appears that the forecast MCS was a model hallucination, but will watch to see what evolves for Saturday.

This weekend is the first of the month-long Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. - see nice photo below. Looks like it will be a cold and wet and wintry weekend to kick-off this year's events.


David Blanchard has some beautiful photos of the comet PanSTARRS posted on his blog. One is below - link to his blog is at the right.
