Photo above is by Mike Leuthold from Atmo, looking toward the east part of the Catalinas - he reported a funnel cloud with this storm a bit before he was able to get the photo.
Below is from twitter, forwarded by Mike, and shows a landspout-type tornado near Buckeye, Arizona. This one of a number during the summer that were not reported to SPC and so are essentially, officially "undocumented" severe storm events.
Thunderstorm activity was much reduced yesterday, especially after the morning activity had moved on - as was indicated by the WRF forecasts. Plot above shows CG flashes back through 7:00 am MST yesterday morning (Wednesday, October 7th). After noon, only 22 sites across the ALERT network reported rainfall, with these mostly in the Catalinas to Rincons - two sites in the Catalinas had just over half an inch. The morning showers produced 0.08" here at the house. October is off to a good start with just under half an inch here - note that 7 of 16 Octobers in my records here have had a total rainfall of 0.08" or less.
