Got a nice 2 hour period of rain yesterday. Up to 1.16" on the month, and the next week looks promising for more monsoonal action.

Quite an active monsoon this year over Arizona.

Some excitement near Denver today.

Sounds like fun

Looks like Phoenix made it to 104 before the haboob hit.

We've had a busy monsoon in the SW. I've only had 2 days with heavy rain so far but they were really heavy. One day with 1.60" and another with 2-2.25", the range is because my rain gauge was under catching due to the 60 mph gusts. That second storm caused some major street flooding.

 

In other news I think odds are good I will be getting a job offer in Tulsa Ok or Wichita KS in the next week so I might be heading east.

I took this not far from my place with that 2nd storm I mentioned.

Yeah, great to see an active monsoon season this summer. Hasn't been great here so far, but at least some places that really needed it in the Southwest have done well.

Obviously you'll be in tornado alley either way, but any preference on Tulsa or Wichita?
