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.

Hot Afternoon With Dry, Gusty Winds
It's a hot and very dry afternoon here in Tucson area, with gusty, desiccating winds. The view above is looking south from Kitt Peak a bit after 3 pm MST today (Sunday, 26 May). Nice view of Baboquivari Peak in the distance. Boundary layer is somewhat dirty, as it has been for weeks and weeks. Below are the current T, Td and RH time series for the airport, with latest observations below. Temp is currently 95F with a dewpoint down at 0F - yielding an RH of 3%. The gusty west winds are sucking the moisture out the plants and folks who are outside. Typical late Spring conditions here in the Tucson area.
