[Gee!]

Woke up and no signs of rain from last nite in the Mirage..

Really nice storms moving down from the north! They're right at about New River right now and seem to be holding together really well. C'mon fellas!! Just another 20 miles or so and you'll be at my doorstep! Could be the first significant rainfall for me during this Monsoon season!

Yup, think you are right 82...lookin good. And so much moisture out there which will make them big rain makers if they get near your house.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Winds have hit. Temp has come down 10 degrees and the first few drops have hit just south of Carefree Highway.

Edit:This storm is parting like the Red Sea around my house. It's like the rain gods know where I live and are saying, "No rain for you!"

Carefree Highway.

Always makes my wife and I think of this song:

 

[BirdMan21]

Getting some rain Gee?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Looks like the west side is getting hit pretty good... Still nothing but wind, some faint sounds of thunder and a few lightening bolts here in N Scottsdale...

 

[O]

And, as it hits the city it starts to break up.

Frustrating... it's not just the city O. The storms were making a beeline for the North and North East areas of the valley. And then, they just disintegrated... Dammit!!! Still no measurable rain for this monsoon...

 

[BirdMan21]

Ya that was really weird watching them roll off the mountain and just die (where the west valley which is furthest away from the mountains actually got something.

 

[Gee!]

Getting some rain Gee?

Nope..

 

[Gee!]

Its raining here now.. I can hear thunder in the distance.. Oh ya..

 

[82CardsGrad]

Really solid downpour that lasted about 15 mins... It was quick, but it's the first real sign of solid rain I've seen so far for this Monsoon...

 

[NoelPHX]

Nice large rain drops and good steady rain for about 10 mins. Looks like more is on its way. Good soaker for the valley tonight?

 

[O]

I don't need no stinking rain!!!

 

[BirdMan21]

Looking like no chance of rain tonight for the valley

 

[Tyler]

The Creek of her Majesty got a little rain and a dust storm. Looks like the majority stayed to the north around AJ.

I call this the Vortex, because nothing can penertrate it!

101 to the north, 51 to the east, 17 to the west, 10 to the south.

Haha, the far North and far East side of the valley are the only ones seeing anything right now. There is just too much heat too high up...the storms run into it and evaporate. Yesterday was the first day that the mid level heat was gone and the storms made it further into the valley. I think we are getting close, they are saying the next 3 days should be good.

I'll believe it when it's hitting me on the head. I'm trying to do my part. Yesterday I washed my car. Didn't help.

[BirdMan21]
