This is nowhere near over. A small low pressure system passed through
here yesterday, and it's presently in far north central Mexico. It will be in
central Texas around midnight, and tomorrow it will be generating strong storms
and tornadoes in the deep south. At the same time, another disturbance along
the edge of the jet stream will pass southward through the intermountain
region, and on Tuesday we will see everything from the western slope of the
Rockies to New England in the grip of a strong low pressure system with an
intense cold front extending from Pensacola to Nova Scotia. Winds aloft along
the Appalachains will be in excess of 100kts. The NAM and GFS forecasts are
foreboding.
On Thursday the temperature here in Phoenix will be 80F.
