Chris W. writes:Another monsoon day wasted in Phoenix. The 12Z/27 sounding [above] at Phoenix was about the ugliest thing I have seen and really says it all. Despite seeing some activity on the 21st, rainfall amounts were isolated and only a Trace was recorded at Sky Harbor. The weather pattern doesn't hold much hope for us folks up here through at least the weekend.
Another thing I wanted to mention was the incredible weather Phoenix saw at this time last year. One of the biggest thunderstorm outbreaks I can recall hammered the Phx metro on the night of the 28th. It was an interesting setup because not much activity was happening during peak hours, despite an atmosphere that was primed for severe weather. Things finally got going in a big way shortly after dark. The link below is from the Phoenix NWS and describes the event thoroughly.
