The areas shaded in blue are Freeze Warnings out from 1 am til 9 am Thursday morning. Remember the three P’s before you go to bed [...]

Old Man Winter’s Knocking On The Door

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Who’s ready for a taste of Winter? Like it or now, it’s coming this week. See that U-shaped cloud mass south of Alaska? That’s a unseasonably cold storm system getting its act together & moving towards Arizona.

Starting Tuesday, we’ll see winds gusting up to 40 mph in some places. By Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, showers [...]

Adrian Peterson = A Beast

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

For my sanity, I won’t mention how the refs basically decided the outcome of the Vikings/Steelers game. Rather, I want to point out that Adrian Peterson is a man among boys. I think bells are ringing in William Gay’s head right about now…get off the train tracks William!

Jeff Jabs…Richard Heene

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Hey folks…sorry for the lack of posts the last few days as I’ve been a little caught up in some personal business. I’m starting a new category on this site called “Jeff Jabs…”, where I take a shot at something crazy in the news. Who better to debut “Jeff Jabs…” like our favorite storm chasing, [...]

Fall’s coming in with quite the kick…a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Cochise, Graham & Greenlee Counties until 5 pm today. A “watch” means that thunderstorms developing in these counties have the potential for damaging winds & large hail for a certain time frame. Remember, a “warning” is when a storm is producing [...]

Is Fall Ever Coming Back?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Mother Nature must be confused. Not only did I wake up to a rumble of thunder around midnight, the temperature at 2:30am was 79! This is all thanks to a sneaky mid-level disturbance pushing through the state today, which is touching off a few storms east of Tucson. I expect storms to remain in Cochise, [...]
