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.

Cool Fall Morning In Tucson
From Jack Hales webcam board - view of the Tetons in Wyoming this morning - September 28th.
Here at the house the low temperature this morning was 45 F - 10 degrees colder than the grid point forecast for here of 55 F. The airport recorded a low of 57 F.
Some lows this morning for RAWS stations:
Empire (at 4650 ft MSL) 43 F - morning lows here at house are often very close to those recorded at Empire although there is about 2400 ft difference in elevation.
Mt. Hopkins (at 7120 ft MSL) 49 F
Rincon (Rincon Mountains at 8290 ft MSL) 43 F
Sollers (Mt. Lemmon at 7800 ft MSL) 45 F but
Columbine (Mt. Graham at 9521 ft MSL) came in at 28 F
So many of the high elevation RAWS sites were fairly warm. But between here and Sollers there is a foothills banana belt with warmer readings - for example Saguaro RAWS near Sabino Canyon had a low of 53 F.
Finally - if anyone wants to share their rainfall amounts for June through September please email to me at bob@squidinkbooks.com - Thanks
