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.

Quick Update On Impending Weather Event
Tonight's precipitation event continues to be forecast by all 21 members of the GFS ensembles from 06 UTC last night - plumes plot above indicates models' QPF amounts at TUS ranging from about 1/10 to 3/10 inch. So, not a substantial amount being forecast, but this would be the first precipitation of December. Shown below is the forecast for composite radar echoes from the 06 UTC WRF-GFS run at Atmo - it is valid at midnight tonight and indicates several bands of showers across southeastern Arizona.
Considerable model-spread for possible trailing event next Monday/Tuesday.
Both versions of the WRF forecasts from 06 UTC forecast similar distributions and amounts of precipitation though 6:00 am MST tomorrow morning - above is from WRF-GFS and below is from WRF-NAM. It will definitely be a raw night tonight, after the warm afternoons we've been having last few days.
