Views around 8:00 am this morning: above shows Catalinas with low clouds hanging on mountains; bottom views are of Flagstaff and of AZ Snowbowl, where it is snowing heavily at both places.
Numerous weather hazards and warnings today (above) for much of the Southwest. Current NWS forecast for Tucson is for gusty winds to near 40 mph this afternoon and some blowing dust; with 80% POPs for rain at airport late afternoon into the night, and a low tonight around freezing. Driving could become hazardous on Highway 83 south toward Sonoita tonight, since there'll be some snow accumulation down that way.
Three forecasts here are from the 12 UTC WRF-RR forecast at Atmo. Above shows forecast steady wind speed valid at 4:00 pm this afternoon. Below shows forecast radar echoes valid at 6:00 pm this afternoon, and second below shows total precipitation forecast through 6:00 am tomorrow morning.
Weather situation has evolved essentially as has been forecast by the models during past few days - see earlier posts.
