Finally Some Weather in the Southwest!


A strong and cold cutoff at 500 mb has dug into the Southwest during the last 36 hours, bringing clouds and thunderstorms to the Tucson area. Photo above shows clouds hanging on the west flanks of the Catalina Mountains at sunrise on November 29, 2009. At 7 am I measured only 0.01" but saw some in-cloud flashes and heard rumbles of thunder. This is the first rainfall since October 3rd. Just the smell of moisture in the air is very much welcome!
