Frequent CG flashes detected yesterday through 0843 UTC this morning (above from Atmo and Vaisala).

Widespread precipitation over much of the ALERT network through 8:00 am this morning (above and below). A couple of isolated amounts exceeded an inch. Here at house we had a quick 0.38" with thunder and wind gusts to 30 to 40 mph; TUS had thunder with gusts to 43 mph but no rain; DM had thunder and a Trace; and Atmo had a Trace and gusts to 37 mph.
