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.

Clear And Very Cool Morning Here
Bright, clear skies above, a bit before sunrise this morning. This is a real contrast to yesterday afternoon (below) when skies were mostly cloudy with virga and some sprinkles. Midday sprinkles gave us a trace here, as per most of metro area. Temperatures in 50s, with winds of 20 to 30 mph made it, for here, a very raw day.
Low temperature this morning here at house reached 31F, making this the first below freezing morning since February 7th. But, we can now look forward to a serious warm up for the next seven or so days, with high temperatures up in the 80s. Second below is from 00 UTC WRF-GFS and is forecast of precipitation on 5.4 km grid through 5:00 pm MST on April 4rth.
Pre-sunrise images from the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory - west of Summerhaven at an altitude a bit above 9,000 ft MSL. I particularly like the "unwrapped" version below.
