Nighttime Showers



Early view of the Catalinas at 6:00 am this morning, with mostly clear skies after last night's showers.


ALERT plots above are for 24-hours ending at 7:30 am MST this morning. Amounts of 0.04", or more, were fairly widespread - coverage considerably more than yesterday's WRF forecast (see previous post). Graphic below (from MesoWest, Univ. of Utah) shows coverage of amounts of a Trace or more. Here at house we had 0.06" just before midnight. The airport reported only a Trace; DM had 0.02"; and Atmo reported 0.04". Amounts were mostly light except on north side of Catalinas.


The rest of October is currently forecast to be mostly fair and mild (see this morning's NWS web page), but with some chilly low temperatures tomorrow morning. Plots here show 06 UTC GEFS for QPF at the airport (above), and total precipitation, from the 06 UTC GFS, through noon on Halloween.
