Windy Today


Campus deserted early this morning (above), and sun and shadows over Bisbee at 7:20 am MST this morning (bottom).


Current morning forecast from NWS Tucson Forecast Office (above) indicates winds, dust, and high fire dangers today, followed by slight chances for rain showers into Wednesday morning. The NWS forecast calls for gusts today reaching around 40 mph, while the WRF forecasts steady speeds of around 35 mph during mid-day. Trash bins and other loose objects may blow over or around - take care driving. 

The plumes for QPF (above from 06 UTC GEFS) show all members forecasting measurable rainfall at the airport late tonight and tomorrow morning. Plumes also indicate possibility of a more significant event around next Tuesday, but that's a week away. Plumes for temperature (below) indicate a bit of a roller coaster ride during the next seven days, with a couple of very chilly days indicated.

Second below shows 06 UTC WRF-GFS precipitation forecast through 6:00 pm tomorrow evening - indicating widespread, but quite light precipitation. Looks like a couple of interesting days, after mostly clear skies since the 23rd of January, when there was 0.02" of rain here at house.
