Heaviest Rains Of Summer In Mountains



Heavy storms at dusk produced large rainfalls in the nearby moutains and some of the northeast metro area. Strong outflows moved across the metro, but storms didn't do much over central parts of town. We had 30 to 40 mph gusts here, lot of lightning and thunder, but only 0.03" of rain. I've shown the two eastern most subsections of the Pima County ALERT network above - 24-hour rainfall ending at 6:30 am this morning (21 July 2011). There were 18 reports of an inch or more, and manning Camp in the Rincons had over two inches. Many road closures this morning due to washes flowing.
