Heavy Cloud Cover And Sprinkles At Sunrise


 Heavy mid-upper cloud cover over the Tucson area this morning with some virga and very light showers to the northwest at sunrise - see above view of Catalinas and IR image from 1315 UTC below. There were some very slight sprinkles here at house with a hint of a smell of moisture in the air.


Yesterday was very suppressed over most of southeast Arizona, as was forecast by the various WRF model runs at Atmo. The early WRF-NAM (below) forecasts some sprinkles over Pima county through noon, but again any rain with the 500 mb closed cyclone (now centered over northwest New Mexico and southwest Colorado) is confined to the White Mountains.
