Meant to do a "today" post earlier, but time got away. When Katie and I left here for a walk at 6:00 am MST this morning my thermometer read 86 F - certainly not the "cool of the morning."
View from Atmo at about 2:40 pm (above) shows large buildup to the northeast of the Catalinas. Visible satellite image below (from 2:30 pm) shows that buildup, and that most current activity is along the Rim.
The 12 UTC 500 mb analysis (above from SPC) shows that the large anticyclone was centered a bit north of Albuquerque with max heights nearly 6000 m. Note that Chihuahua heights have been 30 to 40 m too low for months, and that they are still goofing up the NOAA NWS analyses.
The 12 UTC TWC sounding (below) featured two old, elevated BLs and at most a small amont of CAPE. Very substantial lifting required to get the lower layer to its LFC. I'll be surprised if any storms make it into lower elevations this evening - time will tell.
