Light Showers This Morning


Morning showers along the foothills at about 7:15 am MST and some snow on the San Francisco Peaks at bottom. Morning lows here only in low 60s F, but forecast to be around freezing next couple of mornings.                                      

Light showers have been moving across parts of the metro this morning, and a few locations have received measurable, light rainfall amounts (as per reports from MesoWest for 24-hours ending at 8:45 am - above). Showers here so far have just wet the patio, and left only a Trace in the gauge.


Morning sounding (above) indicates a bit of low-level moisture and CAPE, which has supported the showers. The 500 mb short wave is over northwest Arizona this morning and is forecast to close off and move south-southeastward - forecast below is from the 06 UTC GFS and is valid at noon tomorrow.

Meanwhile, tropical storm Zeta is located southeast of Yucatan, and is forecast to move across the GoM, intensify to hurricane strength, and move toward southeastern Louisiana.
