.DAY ONE…TODAY AND TONIGHT
VERY HIGH WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD OVER THE STATE THROUGH THE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. MANY AREAS WILL OBSERVE WIND GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 60 TO 70 MPH…WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME DAMAGE TO SOME TREES
AND OTHER STRUCTURES. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE ALSO EXPECTED…AND
COULD SUDDENLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A MILE.
IN ADDITION…LOW HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE WITH THESE STRONG WINDS TO
CREATE WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM THE MIDDLE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY TO THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND EASTWARD TO THE
TEXAS BORDER THIS AFTERNOON.
And then, and then, it’s that S-word again.
.TONIGHT…PARTLY CLOUDY. VERY WINDY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EVENING…THEN ISOLATED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS
AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS IN THE 30S. WEST WINDS 30 TO 40 MPH DECREASING
TO 10 TO 15 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT. GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH.
.FRIDAY…PARTLY CLOUDY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE MORNING…THEN ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE AFTERNOON. COOLER. HIGHS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. WEST WINDS
10 TO 20 MPH.
.FRIDAY NIGHT…PARTLY CLOUDY. ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS IN THE
EVENING…THEN ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS IN THE
UPPER 20S TO MID 30S.
Wow. Feel bad for those Tour of the Gila riders…
They may look like Miss Gulch pedaling away in the wind.
At 3:30 the most serious gust in the neighborhood has been 50 mph.
That’d get you three days of no school in the Washington, D.C. area. 🙂
Snow flurries all morning. It was really weird. Cold, but not cold. Snowing, but not snowing. Sun shining and then not shiniing but warm in the (flirting) sunshine, nonetheless.
Spring.
It happens.
(Obviously it ALL happens!)
