Very Heavy Rain Events For Both Phoenix and Tucson Metro Areas


Heavy storms developed locally here in Tucson shortly after I put up the previous post. Rains were very heavy around the Tucson area with some amounts over 4 inches. Total at house was 2.07 inches - the most in a single summer event for a number of years. View toward Catalinas at 9 am MST above, when it was raining heavily here. USGS Dodge at Rillito gauge, plotted below, shows that flow in the wash reached almost to 10,000 cfs. At bottom are all the ALERT sectors showing 24-hour rain amounts through 5 pm this afternoon.
