Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Every summer? How about all the time! The GFS is known as the Goofy Forecast System, as it is well known for overdoing things beyond ~day 5. 010
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Needless Markup was also in there as I recall. (Neiman Marcus). My dad lived downtown in one of the first condos in the warehouse district so I used to frequent the area. It did have a good buzz in the late 80s but went downhill quick. 010

Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Yes. Far SE Arizona is likely to be suppressed...looks to be so for the next few days, at least. Just like last year. 010
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 11/07/2026First haboob of the year for far southeast Arizona and Southwest New Mexico. Peak gust of 72 miles an hour near Lordsburg New Mexico. #azwx #nmwx 120
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Maybe into NV. A lot can happen between now and next week so it is hard to say where and how much moisture. 020
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The strength of the ridge and associated subsidence around the east side is likely to cut off monsoon moisture for NM and eastern AZ. Moisture is unlikely to move north of central and western AZ. 150
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Sometimes, the highlight was the (unintentional) burning of A Mountain. So sad to see that Tucson tradition go. 000
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Not necessarily. SW US El Niño storms are usually quite warm; thus, snow levels are high. Put the increasing temperatures due to climate change on top of this, and some storms will be rain up to 9k feet. Instead of a good snowpack, the rain will run off, and flash flooding potential will be high. 010
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Weakening fortunately. I've been around for a while. I just don't post much anymore. Retired you know. 010

And the earliest in the year that 596 DM was previously observed was June 5th, about 2.5 months later. 161

Reposted by MikeDaniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Additionally, some of NOAA's very high resolution convective-resolving models (designed specifically for this purpose) were the ones that best predicted this incipient disaster. Yet these very same models are on the chopping block this year with the proposed NOAA budget. 131068
Reposted by MikeDaniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Predicting such storms is at the cutting edge of science right now, and the stakes are rising in a warming world in which they are intensifying. Yet this is precisely the kind of research that NOAA/NSF have funded in the U.S. over decades that is at imminent risk of disappearing. 241194
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 19/06/2025She put the Elantra out of its misery by hitting a rock and putting a hole in the transmission. Maybe on purpose??? Anyways, we replaced it with a 2016 Corolla with only 65K miles. 010
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Nothing but problems with my daughter's 18 Elantra. Paint peeling, engine starting problems (ECM replaced), catalytic converter issues, and the stupid ignition switch security problem. I guess we should be happy that the engine hasn't let go. It never ends. 110
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Of note is the full complement of Mexican upper air stations seen above. Historically, Mexico struggled with the reliability of its sounding network. Over the last few years, there has been a vast improvement, and now, it is the United States that is struggling to regularly launch balloons. #azwx 140
Mike @1074j.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Due to staffing issues, the Tucson NWS is no longer sending up a 12Z sounding. This sounding is a meteorologist's most important short-term monsoon forecasting tools. This data is also critical for the accurate weather modeling of monsoon thunderstorms. #azwx @timsteller.bsky.social 250
