I thought that those visiting the Great State of Arizona this coming week, before The Show in Tucson might be interested in seeing today's visible satellite image.

It is mostly clear across the state today, so the latest 1km resolution satellite images might prove interesting.

While this view cuts off the very northern part of the state, including the Grand Canyon, you can see all the higher terrains are covered in snow.

Mt. Lemmon, the tallest peak in the Santa Catalinas, which loom over Tucson just to the north, received between 2 to 5 feet of snow this week with a little more expected this week.

If you want to visit these parts of the state, plan and pack accordingly.

The forecast for the first week of The Show is for sunny skies almost every day with highs in the low to mid 60sF (~17C), with lows at night in the 40s (~6C).
