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.

Groundhog Day 2018
Apparently the Pennsylvania groundhog (Phil) saw his shadow, and predicts six more weeks of winter back there. The GEFS 500 mb average forecast certainly agrees for the next week or so (above forecast valid at 00 UTC on February 9th). So Bill Murray continues to be stuck in this frigid mess.
As for the Southwest - almost no winter continues for the coming week as the massive, blocking ridge dominates the synoptic pattern along the West Coast.
