Showers Here Again

View toward the Rincons at 6:15 am MST shows a bit of color.

Light rains fell over much of the lower elevation Alert sites during the past 24-hours ending at 7:30 am this morning (above and below). Here at the house there were showers late in the afternoon and a couple of times during the night. Gauge showed 0.11" this morning.

Plot of detected CG flashes (above for 24-hours ending at 0803 UTC this morning) shows that most thunderstorm activity avoided the metro area.

The 06 UTC QPF plumes (below) suggest that a more significant event may develop for the first day or two of April.

Finally, there was a strange disconnect regarding the forecast on the NWS TUS website. Above graphic (issued 4:08 am) indicates fairly high POPs for today. However, the point forecast for the airport (below - issued at 5:47 am) indicates only slight chances for showers today.
