The Arizona Monsoon is about to show itself the real deal as I expected in the previous post from July 11th, which will directly affect the metro areas as well.  Read on for details … We are seeing thunderstorms in Southeast Arizona and along the Mogollon Rim as of late, and this is all very common during the monsoon.  However, […]

Tropical Storm Cristina is responsible for shoving moisture in the mid-levels northeast into Western Mexico.  In return, the developing thunderstorms there continue to push moisture northwest and eventually into Arizona, which will be caught up by the developing four corners ridge as this month moves along.  The heat-blast happening this weekend into Monday is the first sign of offshore flow […]

The first naked eye comet to be seen in darker skies of this magnitude since Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 is an easy target for anyone up at 4:45am local time and looking northeast towards the sunrise through this week and a treat in binoculars.  Read more for details … A comet visiting from the most distant parts of our solar […]

In watching how June is going and what is being seen coming into the start of the monsoon season.  June 15th marks the start of the monsoon season and we will see only the New Mexico zones really having an activity, along with Southeast Arizona.  We had a good surge through Tucson in the beginning of the month and this […]

If you have been following National Weather Force (Click here to the Facebook Post) then you will note that I predicted a rare snow level chance for parts of Central/Eastern Oregon into Idaho and that event will happen tonight into Sunday.  That one rare event will cause another rare event in the butterfly effect.  Because of the cold air in […]

A mixed bag of events from the shutdown of the tropical moisture for the most part for a few days, a heatwave coming, and even an upper level low to bring a brief day period of tropical moisture into the region.  Read on for details … Today will be much quieter across the state in terms of those daytime thunderstorms.  […]
