OH, THANKS a LOT Steve, you have a NICE DAY TOO OK? Geeesh! "LOL!" Just kidding Yup Marshall, I've got rocks in my pockets, dogs are tied down. It's 0509 MST and the winds ALREADY crankin', sustained at 21 gusting to 35 and the suns not even up yet "I don't think were in Kansas anymore Toto!"

Dennis

Gotta match?
j/k
It has been windy as heck all week down this-a-ways but beautiful dry cool low to high 70's range for maxes and mornings cool enough for the heat to be on briefly, just to take the nip out. Some of N and C FL has seen record lows the latter part of this week with 40s to near 50 readings at night. And fire season has been moderately light thus far!(crosses fingers)

are definitely here. FHU has gusted to 45mph already which means that the more wind prone locations here are probably over 50mph in gusts. Just another typically breezy Spring day in Arizona.

Steve

Just clocked a peak gust of 54 MPH 2 minutes ago....Show Low Muni clocked a peak gust of 47 MPH 5 minutes ago, it is, without a doubt, a "little breezy!"

Dennis

to 48mph which means that people below the Canyons and in the windprone area south of town are probably seeing 50-60mph gusts. Haven't been able to log into the FHU mesonet to confirm that though.

Steve

I guess our 20 mph gusts would be classified as a wisp of a breeze compared to what you guys are experiencing. But the official forecast was for a windy day.

The wind HOWLED all night long, got up one time to check the gust, 54 MPH at 2100 hrs..........the sky this moring is FULL of dust making for an AMAZING sunrise! Current wind speed, sustained 17, gusting to 29, with a temp of 31°, making for ONE HECK OF A WIND CHILL......this "IS" April, right?

Dennis

Winds are calm at daybreak here to the SW of you Dennis, but yesterday was pretty unusual for us too with sustained high winds and lots of desert dust. You are right, dust is still heavy in the air this morning and the sunrise is gorgeous as a result!
