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.

Hurricane Amanda Rapidly Intensifying
Amanda has become the first hurricane of the 2014 season, in the eastern Pacific, this morning and is rapidly intensifying - current position shown above and current forecast below. Note that NHC now forecasts Amanda to quickly become a Category 3 hurricane.
Visible image above shows Amanda at 7 am MST this morning. several of the GFS ensemble members are forecasting moisture from Amanda after 6 days or so - below is one of the GFS ensemble forecasts from 06 UTC last night that is forecasting a substantial influx of moisture into Arizona at 132 hours. Something to watch closely during the next few days.
