Official Arizona Weather Thread

[Mike Olbinski]

Hey Brian, you're like around the corner from me.

I'm looking at radar at the 4:58 image, and I swear I see a hook echo over south Chandler. Tornado watch?

Not seeing what you're seeing

Clearly, here in the valley this monsoon has been a hit or miss season... However, it seems that up in the mountains and high country, they've been getting lit up fairly regularly each day. Anyone know how this has impacted the lakes? Has it made any impact on the drought?

 

[Gee!]

whats a hook echo?

 

[Gaddabout]

Not seeing what you're seeing

Just saw the next image. I guess it was a new cell, not the rotation of larger cell to the north.

 

[Gaddabout]

whats a hook echo?

It's the tail of a cell that indicates rotation (i.e. tornadoes). We don't see them much in Arizona because there's not enough aloft sheer to spin these cells ... and our cells aren't very big, anyway. Usually see that kind of activity in super cells over the midwest.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I see it now

 

[Mike Olbinski]

It's about to nail me...already getting spittle rain and it's not here yet. And it's 85 degrees and CHILLY out and it's not even rained yet...

Going to be a big one if it continues this way

 

[Gee!]

I see it now

is it that red cell that looks like a a hawks claws from the side?

 

[Gee!]

I gotta seriously wonder.. How do all these storms seem to be right ove rthe tempe area and just stop there? Its odd to me..

 

[Linderbee]

It's easy. They sold their souls to Satan.

 

[Gee!]

It's easy. They sold their souls to Satan.

Makes sense, they are the sun devils..

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Wow some new stuff from the east...

and ugh, the bad rain seems to have died out a bit...it just seems pretty dead at my house and looks like it built back up south of me...

This will suck if I get crap out of this monster storm.

 

[Gee!]

booooooooooooooooooooring.. this day started off with so much promise..

 

[O]

This will suck if I get crap out of this monster storm.

Welcome to my world.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I got caught tubing on the river when that monster storm rolled in. Driving home was tough ... visibility was extremely low. McKellips is flooded at the 101. A bunch of idiots were broken down in the water.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

It has been raining here for over an hour. My back porch is getting flooded.

DCR

 

[O]

It's offically over at my house.
My dog has come out from hiding beneath the table and actually went outside with me.
That does not happen when stroms are in the area.

Damn it.......

 

[dreamcastrocks]

DCR

its been reduced to a sprinkle.

 

[Gee!]

Just went and checked my mail.. I can see the dark clouds over in tempe.. why must they tease me so much?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

well, I was going to say that was depressing, but there may be more coming from the East

 

[Gee!]

sprinkling here...
