High-Based Thunderstorms In Southeast Arizona


High-based thunderstorms occurred yesterday over some of the higher elevations of southeast Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. Lightning strikes have started at least one forest fire near Safford. Above is visible satellite image from 5:30 pm MST yesterday afternoon. The cloud debris made for a colorful sunset here in Tucson. The shot below is looking toward the west from our backyard. It was an interesting day, almost enough to make one think that the summer thunderstorm season will be starting soon.
