View of showers over western Catalinas and this part of town at 4:15 pm CST yesterday afternoon.
ALERT rainfall reports for 24-hours ending at 9:00 am this morning. We had frequent thunder and 0.04" here at the house around 3 to 5 pm yesterday afternoon. The airport and Atmo had no rainfall , while DM reported a Trace.
The 06 UTC GEFS plumes for QPF indicate a dry week ahead (above).
The current NWS forecast for the airport (below) highlights fire weather conditions tomorrow and Sunday.
As for the monsoon storm season: an old, empirical definition used to require three consecutive days with an average daily dewpoint of 60 F or higher. Current Td tracker (below) shows that we have yet to have one such day. Current GFS forecasts indicate that the Four-Corners anticyclone does not set up until after July 4th. So, things are off to a slow start this year.
Wasn't the old standard 55° and not 60? I guess a moot point with the new preset "season"
