Wow Arizona is getting more rain than we have seen in about a month and half in Louisiana. Enjoy the rain!

Yes, looks good... as Dennis has been saying, didn't look like Arizona would see much rainfall for awhile.

Well so far it's been nuthin' but Viagra, uh.....I mean virga "LOL!" No rain, just lotsa CC-CG with gusty winds! I have reports over the scanner of numerous lightning caused fires around the area, just what we DON'T need!

No rain down the hill here a few miles from Dennis either...only a dust
storm that blew in from the South, down Tucson way. There is another
blip on the radar moving into the city from the East now...so one
front has dissipated pretty much from one direction while the other is
now making an entrance from another direction. All we're getting as
Dennis said is wind, dust and the smell of the desert which is great -
but no rain. Definitely no rain. It's not juicy enough yet - - from these
storms. Not the monsoon yet for another 5 weeks....but it's great
practice!

This is a GREAT forecast, now let's hope that we actually get some MUCH needed rain outta this the next few days! "I KNOW it will rain!" Why??? There is a benefit concert in the park today for my friend Rick Lupe, the one who was burnt in that control burn 2 weeks ago.
