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.

Start Of Astronomical Summer Today
Had a fall early am on Fathers' Day and have been out-of-action this week.
Today is the summer solstice and start of astronomical summer, but day-to-day continues dry with high temperatures around 100 F.
The current dewpoint tracker from NWS (above) shows nasty drying trend. The plot below of detected CG flashes over Mexico (from Atmo and Vaisala) ends at 12 UTC this morning, and shows most thunderstorm activity remaining along and east of Continental Divide.
The 500 mb pattern continues troughy in West, but models forecast patterns by end of month that are looking more monsoonal.
