There's some solid action firing up right now up by Prescott and down by Ajo. But, as you say O, getting it to make down into the Valley is very questionable...

There is an inverted trough moving through the southern part of the state that is gonna really help fire storms late today and should get the storms big enough and have enough winds behind them to push them into the valley. They've bumped the chance of storms up over 50% tonight already.

"A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH EVENTUALLY BEING NEEDED BY THIS EVENING FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING MARICOPA COUNTY/GREATER PHOENIX AREA" - from the Phoenix National Weather Service 5 min ago
If I get a storm here in Central Phx tonight, I'm breaking open a bottle of champange!

I hope so too....will soften up the courses for my tourney Sunday-Tuesday. Looks like Sunday night should be another really good night for storms....the official forecast shows Sunday night on being the start of a pretty good monsoon season. They are predicting a 60% chance of an above average monsoon this summer.
when was the last time we even had an average monsoon season?

Saw a duststorm coming up from the south when I was driving home from work.

Great radar view that updates every 4-6min and allows you to zoom down to house level (uses Google maps as its background)

Rained hard in Scottsdale

It's kind of popping off some cells NW of that storm, I'm wondering if the outflow will send something to southern Chandler, etc.
I'm all geared up for some lightning photos here in a bit, after traveling for 15 hours back from Holland today, lol
I have issues.

Storms rolled in late last night and we got some nice rains and thunder. I live in Marana and it was the first monsoon of the year. Should be active again today.
Yeah, it poured here on Friday, I think.
Storms heading this way from the east. I see lightning.
I have zero confidence I will get anything!
After looking at the radar.. Ill say the same for me..

Ive got red blobs over me on the radar and no rain lol. not even a drop
Sorry, O.
Been sitting on the front lawn watching the lightning show for almost an hour. The storm is finally here. The raindrops are starting to fall and the thunder is rolling. I am done with being outside now.
Spoke too soon. Just went outside again. Storm has shifted. Looks like Tempe and Chandler are getting my storm. Still see wild lightening and hear loud thunder, but it looks like it has passed on.
Pouring rain in Mesa !!
