A BLOG ABOUT SOUTHWESTERN WEATHER, Welcome to the MadWeather Blog! We have two basic rules for this blog:
WEATHER FORECASTING & OBSERVING, AND OTHER RELATED TOPICS
(1) Debate and discussion should be civil.
(2) Because public discussion, regardless of the topic,
is not very effective if we don't know who is talking to whom,
MadWeather does not accept anonymous posts.

Some Rain In Early June
Back edge of line of showers and thunderstorms at about 6:30 pm MST yesterday evening.
Light showers, with some thunderstorms embedded, moved across parts of the metro area late in afternoon. View above at about 6:20 pm shows small shower that was moving eastward along the Foothills. This activity produced a low rumble of thunder and rainfall of 0.04" here at house. The airport and DM both reported thunder with a Trace of rain.
Plot below of detected CG flashes (for 24-hours ending at 5:00 am this morning - from Atmo and Vaisala) indicates a narrow band of thunderstorms across Santa Cruz County and east-central Pima County. Only 5 stations in the ALERT network recorded 0.04" or more - max 0.16" at two sites.
Unusual event for early June and now we've got some heat to deal with.
