More Showers?

Bit of blue peeking through the clouds over the Catalinas. Image at bottom shows a few inches of new snow up in Summerhaven this morning.

Rain amounts, mostly light, were recorded at almost all ALERT sites (above and below) for 24-hours ending at 8:00 am MST this morning. Here at house we had 0.13" around midnight. The airport had 0.13"; Atmo recorded 0.11"; and DM had 0.09".

Strong, gusty winds were also common over southeastern Arizona yesterday afternoon: airport reported a gust to 59 mph. Guthrie and Pioneer Airfield also had gusts over 50 mph.

At 500 mb (above)the main trough line remains a bit west of Arizona - note the very cold temperatures with the trough. The morning sounding from TWC/TUS (below) is very dry above 500 mb, with perhaps a sliver of CAPE below.

The GEFS plumes for QPF at the airport (abpve) indicate chances for afternoon showers through Saturday. The current morning forecast from TUS NWS (below) has 80 % POPS for today, along with a chance for thunderstorms.
