Windy As Week Ends


Gusty winds in model forecasts for tomorrow afternoon and also Friday afternoon. Winds result from strong system off west coast moving east-southeastward into the Great Basin. Above is 06 UTC WRF-GFS forecast from last night of 10-m winds valid at 1:00 pm MST tomorrow

Took a look at CG flashes from Mexico southward into Central America this morning. Plot of detected CG flashes (below, for 12-hours ending at 06 UTC last night - from Atmo and Vaisala) indicates Mexico quiet west of Continental Divide with most activity far to south over Central America - seems a bit far south, reflecting the persistent western U.S. trough. Will start keeping close tabs on the activity.

Also of interest, the eastern, north Pacific hurricane season begins today.
