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.

ECMWF 24 Versus 168 Hours
Above is the 24-hour forecast for 500 mb (valid at 00 UTC on 6 April) from the ECMWF forecasts run yesterday evening. Below is the 168-hour forecast (valid at 00 UTC on 12 April) from the same forecast cycle. The forecasts are very similar for the Southwest, and both systems are fairly starved for moisture. Between these systems we'll see a ridge come by and NWS is forecasting that high temperatures will reach into the 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Airport.
