Here at the house it is still raining and all I know for the event total is that it stands at well over an inch. The TUS composite radar echoes at 6:20 am MST above indicates substantial areas of light to moderate rain occurring currently over and west of Tucson. There have not been any thunderstorms within this event so far (nearest lightning down south in central Sonora) and snow levels have stayed quite high. The NWS observation site at the airport observed a daily record high rainfall amount yesterday at just under an inch. Amounts in the Catalinas and Redington Pass area have been prodigious, with some ALERT stations reporting 5 to 8+ inches of rain! Flow in the Rillito peaked at a bit over 4000 cfs around midnight - not a large flow, indicating that the ground has been soaking up much of the rainfall.
Below are rainfall amounts for the 36-hours ending at 6:00 am MST this morning (January 31st) for all the sectors of the Pima County ALERT network.
