Clouds over the Rincons at about 5:00 am MST this morning, showing just a bit of pre-sunrise color.
There were widely scattered showers and thunderstorms around the area yesterday late afternoon and evening. Note that six ALERT sites recorded rainfall (above for 24-hours ending 6:30 am), with heaviest shower occurring near Green Valley
Plot of detected CG flashes (from Atmo and Vaisala -above - for 24-hours ending at 0703 UTC this morning) shows small clusters of storms with some activity continuing after midnight. There was thunder here and winds of 20 to 30 mph; the airport had thunder from 6 to 10 pm but also no rain; while nearby DM had thunder with a gust to 44 mph at 9 pm, along with 0.01" of rain.
The trough at 500 mb had moved east of Tucson by 12 UTC, as per morning analysis below, so chances for more showers is at best very slight.
