Dry Out


Yesterday was very suppressed, as the large scale returns toward more normal hot and dry May conditions. View of flat cumulus over the Catalinas is from yesterday at 3:30 pm MST.


Plot of detected CG flashes (above from Atmo and Vaisala) is for 24-hours ending at 0103 am this early morning. Very few thunderstorms occurred over southeastern Arizona, with no storm activity across entire metro area.


ALERT (above) and MesoWest (below) show just a couple of rainfall reports, and these occurred in the early morning hours just after midnight yesterday.


Forecast below (from the 12 UTC WRF-RR) is for precipitation through 6:00 am tomorrow morning and indicates a very quiet day for much of Arizona, with almost nothing forecast for all of southeast Arizona.
