At 5:49 am MST this morning (above) smoke from the Bighorn fire was mostly off to east of this view from campus. However, by 7:00 am the smoke had drifted westward and was obscuring all of the Catalinas - photo below looking toward Finger Rock. The fire (current map second below) is currently about a third contained and has burned over 75,000 acres.
Models are wobbling re chances for first summer monsoon storms here. Previous post noted chance for showers around end of June, however, forecasts this early morning have pushed that back about a week into July. Forecast above, from 00 UTC GFS, is for rainfall through 5:00 am on July 1st; that below is from 00 UTC WRF-GFS for same period. I'm really ready for some humidity and storms, since last measurable rain here at house was 0.04" on April 11th.
