Two early morning views - top is looking south from Kitt Peak and bottom is looking north from Univ. of Arizona campus. Showers are mostly off to the east of Tucson at this time. This event has played out locally very much like the event of last week. The tremendous amounts of precipitation over much of the rest of the West, however, were amazing and record-setting - making a post about our minor event seem of little importance.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pima County ALERT network had 100% coverage for rainfall with all 93 gauges having measurable rain. Amounts were again highest in the Catalinas, and other higher elevation gauges. There were 24 sites with more than 0.50" and 2 sites had more than 1.00". Amounts within the immediate, lower elevation, Tucson metro area were generally 0.2" to 0.4" and here at the house there was 0.29" in the gauge at 7 am.
