Two photos here (top and bottom) looking toward Thimble Rock before and after sunrise. Smoke from Bighorn fire along mountains left of Thimble Rock.
Yesterday there was a slight sprinkle here at house around 6:00 pm MST, starting July off with a Trace. The airport and DM both reported thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, with Traces of rain and gusty winds.
This morning's sounding plot for TWC (above) indicates PW has indeed increased, and is up to 1.17 inches. Although surface CAPE is zero, the old boundary layer above the surface has a sliver of CAPE and there are showers in the general area. Composite radar image below is from 8:25 am with most showers east and south of the metro area. Shower area is shifting slowly northward.
The NWS has issued a flash flood watch, as per their morning forecast for the airport - 2nd below.
Looks like today is probably our best chance for some measurable rainfall around the metro area, through the Fourth. Perhaps another chance developing on Sunday the fifth.
