A Rosa Sunrise

For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May.

Sunrise was gorgeous this morning in North Phoenix, but we won’t be seeing much of our favorite star over the next few days. As Hurricane Rosa’s remnants blow into the Valley, rain is expected to begin later today or tonight. See the latest update on the storm.

For the record, the clouds that generated this colorful sunrise this morning were not part of Hurricane Rosa, per se. Rather, they were generated by moisture that had been in Mexico and was pushed, by Rosa, into Arizona, explained Austin Jamison, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. “Humidity is on the rise this morning,” he said.

Meantime, enjoy the beautiful morning, and check out this forecast for North Phoenix from the National Weather Service:

  • TODAY: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11am. Partly sunny, with a high near 94. East northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west southwest in the afternoon.
