Here in the Tucson area we had gusty winds and some dust yesterday, along with a few spits of rain. Only 1 station in the Catalina Mountains reported measurable rain - 0.04" and an areal coverage across the ALERT network of about 1%. The Phoenix, composite radar chart for about 18 UTC yesterday (above) indicates that considerably more shower and thunderstorm activity occurred over south-central Arizona. However, amounts in the greater Phoenix area were generally light. The Phoenix Rain Index (PRI) for yesterday is shown below. At PHX there was 0.02" and at the Scottsdale Airport there was thunder and 0.04". So, serious drought continues here in southern Arizona.
