Woolsey Fire And Local Winds


Jack Hales sent a loop he constructed from the LAX webcam that shows the smoke from the Woolsey fire during a 24-hour or so period. Loop is at:

Sunrise east of Sonoita yesterday morning. Bottom shows some fall color down there also with golden cottonwoods.


The GEFS plumes for QPF at the airport - above - forecast another very dry week here in Tucson area.

Winds early yesterday really did not materialize as per the WRF forecasts - probably due to very shallow nature of the push from the east. I found a few gusts to middle 20s in metro area - this was midway between WRF and grid point winds at airport. The WRF forecasts another east wind event for late tomorrow into Tuesday, with the easterlies/northeasterlies being much deeper. I'll update tomorrow am and won't jump for graphics this morning.
