Can you believe that we ACTUALLY saw something in the sky today, still trying to figure it out, it's BRIGHT, WARM and you can't look at it, "OH....WAIT, it's the SUN!" 8-)

After 16 STRAIGHT DAYS of not seeing it, I was BLINDED.....like the song, "Blinded by the Light!" 8-)

It is amazing how totally different you feel when the sun is out as well!

I hope that you get a good balance of moisture and sunshine this year!

at least not at 7000 feet but what IS looking more likely is our first spell of the dreaded Spring winds with the models advertising H5 winds of up to 70kt from the SW over AZ this coming weekend. From about mid April through mid June, if there's one thing that can be said about the weather in AZ is that its windy.

Just hope no fires start with those winds like they are. That seriously could be a major major issue

It could possibly be in the upper 30's here tonight, what's up with this weather?

The transition from winter to spring! It can and sometimes takes a little longer in some portions of the nation then in others.

Your right Steve and here I thought we were gonna escape the brutal "Winds of Spring" this year :roll:

(you should know better Dennis!) Please note the last sentence, this is what I was afraid of, no matter HOW much moisture we receive, these winds are vicious and the fire danger increases 100 fold in the matter of days. And they call Chicago the "Windy City!" Shoot....Chicago ain't got nuthin' on us :roll:
