Lots Of Rain In Arizona Today

[riverratmike]

since about 9am this morning it has almost been raining moderatly non-stop all day. So far I have recorded 1.06 inches of rain. Also a flash flood warning was just issued by NOAA for my area. Anyone have any idea if I'll get any thunderstorms tonight as I hope to capture some images on my camera tonight??
