June Summary


View of the Catalinas at about 9:30 am MST this morning showing perfectly clear skies.

June ended with measurable rainfall here on 3 days, with most rain falling on the 15th and 17th - 0.19" and 0.38". This was somewhat unusual with the middle of the month being active. Total  for month was 0.61" with thunder here at house on two days. This was the fifth wettest June since 1999, when I started my records.

The 06 UTC GEFS plumes for QPF at the airport (above) indicate indicate increasing chances for rain after the 6th of July. The GEFS POPs at airport (below) reach to almost 30 percent on the 8th next week.



Far to the southwest, TS Douglas developed late yesterday. Current NHC track forecast above indicates Douglas will remain a TS and dissipate by tomorrow. Satellite shows Douglas as a disorganized cluster of deep convection at northwest corner of 14 UTC IR image (below).
