Friday Afternoon Storm


A storm boiled up over the Catalinas late yesterday afternoon and moved southward across parts of central Tucson. The web cam sequence here from the University of Arizona campus shows the view to the north from 3:00 to 5:00 pm MST. The storm was fast hitting and produced thunderstorm observations at both TUS and DMA. The maximum rain amount I saw for this storm from the ALERT network was 0.47" at a station south of DMA. The storm produced a brief, heavy downpour here at the house that left 0.16" in the rain gauge. That makes the total for this entire, end of October, weather event 0.47" - quite a nice rain event and also month.

The temperature this morning is definitely in the 30s F here, but I won't know the low for a couple of hours.
