The above is composite radar from NWS Tucson radar at about 2:15 pm MST this afternoon. The organized rain areas associate with the remnants of Odile are moving across northern Mexico and the Arizona Borderlands at this time. Radar loops indicate that heaviest additional rains will stay east and south of Tucson metro area. Further, dry air in the upper troposphere (water vapor image below is from 2:00 pm) is pushing eastward across Pima County. So it appears that whatever additional rain we might get will be from any local convective storms that can develop. Here at house we have managed a total catch in the gauge of only 0.29". Heaviest rain amounts have fallen during last 24-hours over the Catalinas and Redington Pass with only light amounts over lower elevation portions of metro area - so it goes. Bottom three graphics are current amounts across three sectors of the ALERT network showing this, with one amount over 3 inches recorded in Redington Pass area.
