Nice Day Today



Just a few clouds on the Catalinas this morning. Some fog and stratus drifting across Kitt Peak from the valley to the west - below. Bottom shows the Huachuca Mountains viewed from SR-90 southbound at Whetstone.


Fairly strong 500 mb short wave headed into Arizona today from the Great Basin (above). But, the 06 UTC WRF-GFS forecast for winds at 1:00 pm MST today (below) indicates that gusts won't be nearly as strong as yesterday, when airport had gusts up to 38 mph.


Current morning forecast for the airport (above from NWS) indicates 30 percent chance of showers tonight. However, 06 UTC model forecasts through 5:00 pm tomorrow (from WRF-GFS below and GFS second below) keep showers far to the north of Tucson. So, we'll watch to see which scenario actually plays out tonight.
