Warm And Windy

Altocumulus overhead this morning a bit before 7:00 am MST.  At bottom is view of Superstition Mountains from Apache Junction at about 7:30 am.


IR satellite image from about 7:30 am shows thick, high clouds to our west and southwest, and these will be moving across southern Arizona later today and tonight. Forecast highs are in the 80s F through next Monday. But 06 UTC plumes from GEFS for wind speeds at 10m (below) indicate gusty winds most afternoons through first week of April.

Second below (from 00 UTC WRF-GFS) shows forecast of precipitation totals through 5:00 pm April 7th - most of Southwest remains dry through the period. It's been almost two weeks since last rain here at house, and ground is very dried out - time to water some of the yard plants.
