View of storms over eastern Catalinas at 7:20 pm MST last evening.
Eastern Pima and Pinal Counties were the focus of thunderstorm activity yesterday - as per plot of detected CG flashes through 0703 UTC (from Atmo and Vaisala).
Rainfall was widespread across much of the ALERT network (plots for rainfall reports through 06:30 pm). We were in the donut hole over northwest metro area. Considerable thunder here but only light sprinkles. There were quite a few reports greater than a half an inch, and two reports of more than an inch.
There were also six reports of severe wind gusts northwest of Tucson last evening - as per SPC Reports map, second below.
This morning's TWC/TUS sounding (above from Univ. of Wyoming coninues with limited PW, perhaps a sliver of CAPE. The deep, old BL sits above a very cool surface layer produced by yesterday's storms. Hard to see this sounding supporting thunderstorms.
The 12 UTC WRF-RR (above) has only isolated storm activity through noon tomorrow, while the NWS is forecasting storms later today - above and below.
