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.

Very Cold AM Plus Chaff Streaks Yesterday
A Christmas kind of view of Jackson, Wyoming this morning. Hope that everyone has a great Holiday weekend - keep warm.
From MesoWest (Univ. of Utah) temperatures at 7:30 am MST this morning - above southeast Arizona and below metro Tucson area. Definitely a hard freeze underway most locations. Temperature here at house, along the Rillito wash, was 19 F at 7:00 am. The cold site west of Tombstone was reporting 7 F!
Yesterday afternoon the NWS radar was tracking a large plume of chaff emanating from the Goldwater Ranges - first that really caught my eye in quite sometime (above image from about 4:30 pm and there is a second small plume northwest of the large echo area). Concurrent visible satellite image shows mostly clear skies.
Safford was reporting a strange surface observation at this time - light rain and clear skies see obs at bottom.
