Good Tuesday morning all…as promised, the majority of rain and mountain snow this morning has been east of Tucson (and well east of Arizona for that matter, as New Mexico & Texas are seeing snow this morning). Also as promised, not much of this rain is reaching the ground thanks to dry air at the [...]
Good Monday evening & radar as of 5 PM stands mainly silent across Southeastern Arizona. Overcast skies will prevail tonight ahead of a weak storm system that will move over us Tuesday.
This is where I expect this low pressure trough to be Tuesday morning. Our RPM model puts the majority of showers and mountain snow [...]
Good evening everyone…I hope you all had a great Christmas holiday! First things first on this Saturday night, which is low temperatures that you’ll be waking up to Sunday morning. We won’t be as cold as we were this morning, with the Tucson metro hovering near freezing & the usual spots below freezing.
The high cloud [...]

Palominas and several other valley communities in Cochise County woke up to a winter wonderland this morning, as lingering rain showers quickly turned into snow during the overnight hours. As the skies continue clearing today, snow will rapidly melt so enjoy it while it lasts. That will pretty much wrap up [...]
Albeit delayed a few hours by my watch, but finally we’re starting to see showers develop over the Tucson metro. Most of this is not reaching the ground thanks to dry air at the surface, but this will help moisten the atmosphere and allow for later showers to drop up to 0.10″ rain by tomorrow [...]

This scene says it all…the wreckage from a fatal multi-vehicle pile-up on I-10 north of Casa Grande this afternoon. The cause? Numerous dust storms in Pinal County. Winds have been gusting as high as 45 mph this afternoon, reducing visibility on all major highways in Southern Arizona. If you’re planning on [...]
A little wrinkle in the forecast for late Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday…above is the accumulated precip, which now covers most of Southeastern Arizona. My prior thinking of Santa Cruz & Cochise County not getting much from this system has changed. The bulk of the precip will still be in Eastern Pima, Pinal, Graham & Greenlee [...]
Apologies to Faith Hill, but lately I’ve been dreading all day for Sunday night. After Matt Moore (who?) and the Carolina Panthers handed my Vikings another loss on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, I find myself spending Monday’s trying to figure out what’s the deal with Minnesota on Sunday night. (Jerry Seinfeld would be so proud [...]
Ah, Ralphie Parker from A Christmas Story. We all know what he wanted from Santa (A Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Range Model Air Rifle of course!)…and we all know he almost shot his eye out. Well Ralphie’s re-incarnated…as a Washington DC police detective armed with that Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Range Model Air [...]
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued above 7000 feet for Graham & Greenlee Counties from 5 pm Tuesday through 6 am Wednesday. The Pacific storm system I’ve been tracking all weekend still looks to impact Arizona late Tuesday into Wednesday afternoon. 3-6″ of snow is possible for Mt. Graham & Hannagan Meadow, with gusty [...]
