Middle clouds over the metro area at 9:00 am MST this morning.
Scattered reports of more than 0.04" across the ALERT network for 24-hours ending at (;00 am. Most reports were light, with only 5 sites reporting more than half an inch. However, note that the airport and DM had amounts right around an inch. Additionally, the airport reported a gust to 76 mph and there were also reports of poles down. Here at house I estimated gusts to 40 to 50 mph around 6:30 pm. Rain here was only 0.03" (Atmo had 0.02").
Plot of detected CG flashes (second below - from Atmo and Vaisala) for 24-hours ending at 3:03 am this early morning shows storm activity over parts of eastern Pima County.
The 500 mb pattern remains weak over the Southwest (above for 12 UTC this morning), with an anticyclone over the Great Basin and a weak cyclone southeast of Tucson. The 12 UTC TWC/TUS sounding (below) is quite stable after yesterday's storms and today should be a mostly down-day.
