Snow! Plenty was left behind across #Arizona, and was clearly visible on satellite as clouds cleared today. You can already see it melting quickly as temperatures warmed this afternoon. #azwx

Notice the haze around the #Phoenix Valley today? It's from strong winds yesterday that produced large areas of blowing dust (especially across Southern California), which moved into the Valley overnight into this morning. #azwx

@drhenz_wx @maricopaflood MC Flood Control is great! Using ~190 guages in the urban area, get an avg monsoon total of 2.47", this year coming in at 2.58" for the "urban total". Also, this year looks like 30 "rain events" somewhere in the urban area, with the avg (1995-2024) being ~38 events Cool stuff!

Notice the haze around portions of #Arizona this morning? It is all thanks to a large complex of thunderstorms that developed in #Mexico yesterday. As they collapsed, they sent a large outflow into the region (check out the "waves" coming out of the complex of storms). #azwx
