View toward the Rincons a 5:35 am MST this morning. View at bottom shows storms over the metro at 6:00 pm on the 11th.
We have been away since Thursday morning the 11th. When we returned yesterday afternoon there was 0.90" of rain in the gauge. This fell on the late afternoon/evening of the day we left .
ALERT observations from the 11th (above and below) - note the three amounts over an inch. The storms were accompanied by gusty winds: unknown here; 46 mph (with 0.09") at the airport; 47 mph (with 0.19") at DM; and 38 mph (with 0.06") at Atmo.
We were up at Winslow where there were severe thunderstorm gusts to 73 mph at the historic airport a bit after midnight on Friday night.
At 500 mb this morning (above) there is a large anticyclone centered over southern Colorado (note soundings from Denver continue to be missing). The morning sounding from TWC/TUS (below) has quite large amounts of CAPE, with strong east to southeast steering winds - which should make for an interesting late afternoon and evening today!
