Light Rains Yesterday



Some snow cover visible on west end of Catalinas this morning. Image at bottom shows heavy snow falling in Summerhaven at 11:40 am MST yesterday morning.

Rainfall amounts from the ALERT network (above and below) for 24-hours ending at 8:00 am this morning. Only a few sites had over half an inch. Here at house we had an additional 0.29" during the day, making the event total here 0.42". Yesterday's rain at airport was 0.12"; at DM it was 0.12"; and at Atmo it was 0.19".


A strong short wave is forecast to move across Arizona on Saturday the 10th. Above 500 mb forecast from 06 UTC GFS is valid at 18 UTC on Saturday. The 06 UTC GEFS plumes for QPF at airport (below) indicate a minor event later today, but then a fairly significant event on Saturday.
