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.

Dreary And Windy This Morning
Yesterday was crystal clear for much of the day, until Pacific cirrus moved in during late afternoon. View above is at 8 am MST yesterday (Tuesday, November 26th). However this morning has dawned very dreary with skies completely covered with thick, high clouds - below is visible satellite image from 8 am Wednesday, November 27th.
The view of the Catalinas at a bit before 8 am was much different than that yesterday (above). It has been windy now for about 24-hours, with frequent gusts above 30 mph - forecast calls that breezy but I call it windy. Wind was very strong along the Rillito when I walked this morning, and I chose a route that kept me sheltered as much as possible - not at all a nice morning. Table below shows hourly observations at the airport, since 7 pm last evening. Note that the cloud observations from the automated ASOS system are completely misleading, since that system indicates continuously clear skies through 8 am this morning.
