Hot Today - Updated

UPDATE: High yesterday at airport did reach a record 105 F.

Few clouds over the Catalinas this morning, along with a lonely contrail.

Current forecast from NWS Forecast Office (above) calls for high today at airport of 105 F. Record high for today is 104 F - so we'll be flirting with a new record high for May 15th.

Very dry conditions prevail - note the low dewpoints at airport yesterday (above) and the 1 % relative humidity.

Little hope in the model forecasts for precipitation this month. Below is the 06 UTC GFS forecast for total rainfall through 06 UTC on the 31st - serious drought continues in our part of the country. Note that it is more than 45 days since last rain here at the house.
