Just got home and drove through a few good size bursts of rain and wind coming up the 101... Started about Indian Bend and last off and on through Scottsdale Rd... At times REALLY heavy, and at other times nothing at all...

It only has rained .05 inches here since I have been home. However, about 2 miles down the street there is a big red blob that i can see from my house and can't see the mountains at all.

Got about .25 inches today probably a little more cause my rain gauge was blocked by my apartment with most of today's rain.

Got rained on in Sun Devil stadium tonight. Delayed the show by about 30 minutes. I feared they were going to cancel it, but it finally cut back. Nothing major, but it was the kind of drizzle that sticks to the ground.

Been raining off and on here all day... Very different pattern to the weather today. It all seems to be coming up from the south, versus moving down off the rim?? It's a much more consistent level of rain though - instead of a 15-20min torrential burst!

I woke up this morning and it's raining. I like it when it rains in the morning, especially on Monday.

At my sons' football practice tonight I noticed some pretty decent buildups to the south and east of the valley. Looked like they were over Mesa perhaps... maybe a bit further south and east...
