Catch Up


I missed posting yesterday, so this is a bit of a catch up. Image above shows early morning shower over north metro at about 2:00 am MST early Sunday morning. Image at bottom is view of Catalinas at dusk yesterday.


The showers  Saturday night?Sunday morning impacted mostly the north portion of the ALERT network (above ending at 10 am MST Sunday morning) - remember the 0.04" ALERT threshold. If I recall correctly, there was a light snow accumulation at the highest elevations of Mt. Lemmon. Precipitation for the main metro area (from Univ. of Utah's MesoWest - below ending at same time) shows mostly Trace to very light amounts. Here at house we had 0.02" in the gauge.


Finally, a look ahead shows very little in the way of precipitation for an extended period. Graphic below shows 06 UTC GFS forecast of precipitation through 06 UTC on February 8th (15 days out). It is a very long-term forecast, so we'll watch to see how things actually evolve.
