A Dry April

It looked promising late yesterday afternoon - view of the Catalinas above from 5:45 pm MST.


However, measurable rain stayed to east and south of the metro area. ALERT observations (above) are for 24-hours ending at 9:00 am this morning. There was no rain at the house during all of April, making this one of 8 Aprils with no rain here since 1999.

The plumes from the 06 UTC runs of the GEFS (below) indicate slight chances for light showers around the 5th of May.
