About real clouds, weather, cloud seeding and science autobio life stories by WMO consolation prize-winning meteorologist, Art Rangno
Feeling pretty good about rain during the rest of July into early August
Don’t really need to explain this NOAA “ensembles of spaghetti” map anymore, so thought I’d just post it. Made me feel real good thinking about all the summer rain ahead in the next two weeks and how green it will be around here then. The second greening of Arizona; its so great!
Yesterday’s clouds, in cast you missed them, especially the great sunrise:
The End.
Useless note: Might have been 0.02 inches of rain early this morning, but then again, the tipped buckets might have been due to condensation this coolest morning (71 F) in the past few weeks. Radar did have tiny echo going over….still, not sure it was “rain.” But, heavy dew is good, too! Non-recording gauge also had 0.02 inches, so I guess its was real “rain” not dew! Mystery solved.
