The waning moon setting west-southwest of campus at around 6:30 am MST this morning.
Plot of detected CG flashes (above - from Atmo and Visala) for 24-hours ending at 0703 UTC last night indicates active storms over eastern Pima County and parts of the metro area. Composite radar image (below for 0602 UTC) shows several areas of storms over metro area and to the west.
ALERT plots (above and below for 24-hours ending at 7:00 am) show scattered light amounts across much of the network. Here at the house we received 0.06"; TUS had thunder, a Trace and gusts to 37 mph; DM reported thunder and a Trace with gusts to 33 mph; and Atmo had 0.02" with gusts to 33 mph. Since I was snoozing, I don't know what the wind gusts might have been here.
