     It was 110F this afternoon at a couple of places in Arizona.
Following the passage of the latest Pacific trough this afternoon,
nothern Arizona (at least) has become very dry and calm.  It wouldn't
be too surprising for some high-elevation sites to reach 30F by morning,
making for an 80-degree difference across the state.  The Flagstaff NWS
office at 10.30p is already at 45F with dewpoint of 8F.
     Along with the dry air, it is also especially transparent for the
last few days of June, so from Anderson Mesa tonight the sky is spectacular.
Considering that around midday we were getting gassed out big-time by smoke
from the Cave Creek fire, this is a welcome change today.
